Video summary

The latest episode covers a wide array of gaming news, starting with highly anticipated previews for *Fire Emblem: Fortune & Weave*. The game is described as massive and ambitious, featuring four distinct protagonists whose stories intertwine into a complex narrative labyrinth rather than offering a single linear path. Combat mechanics have been updated to include special abilities like rock-throwing that can alter battle outcomes instantly, alongside deeper strategic options for specialist classes. Beyond the main story, players will explore an expansive capital city filled with side quests and social interactions, while also tackling dungeon sections that utilize a turn-based system similar to classic RPGs rather than the standard grid movement found in other tactical encounters. In addition to *Fire Emblem*, there are significant updates coming for several major franchises including *Splatoon 3* and *Pokémon*. For *Splatoon*, players who complete the main story of *Splatoon Raiders* will soon be able to unlock a plastic bottle replica splatshot with unique abilities in their base game. On the Pokémon front, new sales data reveals that both *Pokémon Pocketopia* on Switch 2 and *Sonic Frontiers* have each surpassed five million copies sold globally. Furthermore, fans can look forward to playing remakes of *Fire Red* and *Leaf Green* later this year with full compatibility for transferring creatures to Pokémon Home, though the service will eventually lose its ability to connect directly with older generations once the 3DS-based Pokémon Bank shuts down in early 2027. The news segment also touches on some surprising developments outside of Nintendo's ecosystem and internal records. Warner Bros. has officially confirmed that a sequel to *Hogwarts Legacy* is currently in development, marking another successful expansion for their gaming pipeline following the massive success of the original title. In a significant milestone for hardware history, the Nintendo Switch recently surpassed the PlayStation 2 to become the best-selling video game console ever by total software units sold, officially passing one billion pieces of media moved across its entire lifecycle. This achievement highlights the platform's enduring popularity and sales volume despite being released several years after the PS2 era. Finally, the episode concludes with a look at new leaks regarding Nintendo's upcoming 40th anniversary celebration for *The Legend of Zelda*. While details about the Switch 2 Pro Controller and console have already surfaced from manufacturing sources in China, images suggest there is still one mystery third item hidden on the packaging that has not yet been revealed. Speculation among fans ranges from a special edition amiibo to themed Joy-Cons or even new hardware like an anniversary camera, though the leaker claims they are unable to disclose what it is at this time. The video suggests this secrecy could be part of Nintendo's strategy to build hype for their upcoming event, leaving viewers eager to see exactly which product will complete the trio of anniversary releases.

All right, everyone. We got a bunch of news to get to today. Fire Emblem Fortune Weave previews are in, and holy crowd, they're glowing. We're going to look at one of them while watching footage of a different one because I think these two combined did a really good job explaining things. Uh, we have an update for Splatoon Raiders and Splatoon 3. So, really interesting there. Uh, we have some Kingdom Hearts news upcoming, which is interesting. After all, the last time we saw that game was in the Nintendo Direct. We have some updated sales data on Pokemon Poctopia and Sonic. Uh, more than that, a big announcement was made regarding the entire Pokemon franchise. Now, part of this is just good news, right? Pokemon Home, we have a date. We know it's coming for Fire Red Leaf Green that you've been able to buy for $20 each for a while now this year. So, cool. That's good news. But then there's also a other side of the coin story to this that people aren't necessarily too happy about. Hogwarts Legacy 2 is confirmed to be in development as well. We got to talk about that. Uh, we have a milestone to go over with Switch. It actually just set an all-time record. No, not the fastest selling console ever, but something else. So, we're going to talk about that. Uh, and guys, yes, we have more leaks. I can't believe this is still a thing, but there's even more leaks coming for Zelda's 40th anniversary out of manufacturing in China. We know about the console. We know about the controller, but now there is a mystery third item. Oh boy, guys, this is going to be a fun one. Before we dive in, I just want to remind you we are giving away a Nintendo Switch, too. You can enter through the link down in the pin comment or in the description. Uh the only requirement is to be subscribed to the channel. And let's go ahead and get to our very first story. Uh this one dealing with Fire Emblem. So, what we're going to do here is I'm going to put up footage from Nintendo Life's preview while reading off the preview uh presented by Dom Papayat over at Eurogamer. That's because I think in combination, these are two of the best previews of this game out there. And I've been through dozens of them. And again, we're trying to speak directly to Fire Emblem fans here. So, here we go. 20 hours in. I cannot believe the scale, complexity, and ambition of Fire Emblem Fortunes weave. So, Fire Emblem Fortune Weave is massive. If you're coming to Intelligent Systems Switch 2 RPG after playing three houses or engage, you're going to be shocked by the scale of it. Within the first 10 hours of the game, you are given choices that show you just how broad the scope of the game is. As you play, more avenues open up before you in concertina, a baffingly complex bloom of consequence, intrigue, and narrative that blossoms and blossoms. I'm actually almost intimidated by it. From the trailers, you've probably seen that there are multiple playable characters whose stories you can follow. The four main protagonists are Theodora, a warrior queen determined to do right by her people. Dietrich, a foreign swordsman intrigued by this land's marshall customs. Kai, a young village boy caught up in a peculiar conspiracy. And Lea, a traveling performer lusting for revenge. How Intelligence Systems has crammed this much into a 29 1/2 GB file? I'll never know. Instantly, the game establishes one clear maxim. This is not engage. There is not one path. This is a labyrinth. Deliciously textured story. You're going to need a wall chart and plenty of string in order to keep up with. It makes the plot of Three Houses look indolent by comparison. I'm only allowed to talk about the first few chapters in this preview, but that's enough. You only need to play a few hours to see the potential this game has. It looks like it's going to be the biggest Fire Emblem ever and possibly the most definitive. After an introductory sequence that lands some pretty heavy contextualization regarding the fate of the world, you start to unpick the naughty story about the four heroes journey through the heroic games, a tournament hosted in the region's capital city of Dagason that will grant one of the protagonist the audience with the divine sovereign who will in turn grant them one wish. Unity, vengeance, knowledge, power. It's all very fantasy with enough proper nouns thrown into the mix to make George RR Martin blush. There is so much lore in the first 30 minutes alone that I'm sure Fire Emblem historians are going to have a field day unearthing all the links to past games in universe events. But even if you're not a lore goblin, you're going to find the way that Intelligence Systems has just grown everything outward is stunning. Let's start with the combat. Fire Emblem's beating heart. The turn-based grid restricted system is back and on the surface the same as it ever was. Choose a unit, move them around, attack on the enemy, see how they respond, rinse, repeat. But certain units like chariots have special skills beyond simple attacks that allow them to say mow down entire rows of enemies. More advanced classes can combine offensive weapons like spears with utility like white magic. Each protagonist has access to special abilities that make them stand out on the battlefield and have more functionality than their wards and guards. I played as Theodora initially and her pension for chucking rocks across the battlefield ended some battles before they even began in earnest. But these abilities cost HP and more often than not, if your lead unit dies, you lose. It's a risk and reward at large. Of course, guys, remember they do have perma death as an option if you would like to turn that on. Uh, Intelligence Systems is throwing off the training weights for Fortune's Weave. I think there has always been plenty of choice in the Firem series, but here it feels like we get access to a full toy box far earlier than in Three Houses, Fates or Awakening. You can start recruiting other characters to your army nice and early, too, giving you a distinct sense of achievement and intent from the initial hours onwards. While many units can use multiple weapons, the way the specialist classes have been tinkered with means you can build ultra specific strategies on the battlefield. More so than in any Fire Emblem game I've played to date, enemy AI, at least on the harder modes, seems cannier and cruer, too. I found them routinely targeting my weakness unit and rolling the dice with their critical shots. The sometimes disgusting effect even in the earlier missions. Masochist, they finally listened to us. The animation and attack systems have been overhauled, too. With so many new units and a couple of special weapons, we need more texture. The skirmishes themselves look remarkable, dynamic, responsive, punchy. The only criticism I'll leave here is comes down to critical hits. They land quite lethargically, perhaps undercut by the flashy animations that precede them. Back in the Path of Radiance days, crits used to land like the splash of a symbol. Now they're more like a dampened snare. Not bad, just different and a tiny nitpick in the scheme of things really. Between your qualifiers and elimination rounds in the heroic games, you're given free time persona style that measures and turns. Here you'll encounter frankly embarrassing numbers of NPCs that can be charmed, recruited, or trained to beef up for the upcoming fights. Exploring the capital city actually takes more time than battling in my experience so far because there's so much to do. Train at the arena. Go perform tasks for the gods. Engage with the side missions. Run errands for the towns folk. Comb the world for supplies. Ascend back to your homeland. Upgrade your weapons. Trade with multiple different trading companies that even have their own stories. Perform in plays. Go to the spa. Eat a meal at the tavern. Find random encounters out in the world map inspired by medieval Spain. The list goes on and on and on. Each of the four protagonists have their main characters for their respective parties, but that doesn't mean you can't chat to and try to recruit loyal subjects from other teams. I played as Theodora and Kai so far, and I'm stunned by the amount of character specific dialogue in this game. It reminds me of playing the PS1 RPG with how much volume there is, how reactive the world is to who you are, the possibilities that feel like they're running out in front of you at any given moment. There are also bond links between characters, now a Fire Emblem staple, that gives you even more voiced dialogue if the two people spend enough time together. So, you're kind of rewarded with more voice acting. And of course, all this socializing makes you stronger once you've got a tight-knit army full of companionable allies you could take to the world map, a large scale overworld view, and takes time to traverse, meaning you have to plan your foray in advance. But out here in the wild, there's yet another aspect of Fire Emblem Fortune that's really surprising. Dungeons. These make a return from the 3DS style Shadows of Valencia and include their own dedicated battle system that removes the grid-based SRPG stuff entirely and replaces it with a turn-based system comparable to old school Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. They're not particularly deep or revoly, but in a game that's probably going to take hundreds of hours to complete, they're a nice change of pace and provide a decent way of leveling up combatants you may neglect in the more plot critical encounters. There's actually a lot more to go into, so I don't want to spoil too much of the game for people that want to go into it somewhat blind. But it's safe to say though that even in the opening hours of Fire Emblem Fortune Weave. I feel like this is one of the best games in the series. It's already by far the best and most ambitious game I've played on Switch 2. Who knows how the back half will feel. Now, he goes on to say a couple more things. You can go check out the article if you want, but yes, really, really great piece of work. I'm really happy with the work that uh Nintendo Life did in capturing footage as well. So, credit to them. We'll link to both of that stuff down below. you guys want to check out more about Fire Emblem Fortunes weave. All right, next up we're going to dive into an update coming to Splatoon 3 thanks to Splatoon Raiders. So Nintendo of Europe tweeted out here in Octalines who have cleared the main story in Splatoon Raiders will soon be able to pick up a plastic bottle shot replica in Splatoon 3 from the terminal in the lobby. Like the tent splattershot, it comes with a splat bomb and a triple ink strike. Booyah. And again, a nice little reward for anyone who's beat raiders. Of course, this also gives Splatoon 3 players who own Splatoon Raiders just more incentive to finish off the game if they haven't at least beat the main story. I know the post game apparently gets really crazy in the game. So, it's well worth it to get there anyways, but hey, if you haven't, there's just another reason to do it if you're a Splatoon 3 active player. All right, guys. Next up, just a smidge of news on Kingdom Hearts. Basically, a rumor coming from Daniel Rickman. I've heard a few rumblings on this, but I don't think it's game related. Uh Daniel Rickman says there will be a Kingdom Hearts announcement today at D23 which is happening today. Uh it could just be that Koko will have a world in the fourth game or it could be an announcement for a TV show or movie. You guys might already know what the announcement is by the time uh you see this video. So you guys actually might be more up to date than I am at the time of recording, but it hasn't happened yet. So I don't know what the announcement is. I doubt it's literally Kingdom Hearts 4. I think it's just going to be some merch or a movie or something else. But uh just letting you guys know there's some news coming on that. And reminder, of course, at Final Fantasy News, Revelation will be happening at opening night live and they're actually doing a panel at PAX West that I might be attending in person as well. So, a lot going on with that game. Next up, we got to talk about sales. We're going to be talking about Poctopia and we're going to be talking about Sonic Frontier. So, first up, let's go to BusinessWire for Pocopia. Says, "Global sales of Pokemon Pocopia for Switch 2 have surpassed 5 million units." That does, folks mean this is the second bestselling game on Switch to passing Donkey Kong Bonanza. So, Pootopia has sold more than 5 million units. Uh, here's what it says. Uh, from Redmond, Washington, which is Nintendo's H headquarters here, HQ in the US, Nintendo and the Pokemon Company Group have announced that global sales of Pokemon Poctopia have surpassed 5 million units across the physical and digital versions just over 4 months after its launch on March 5th, 2026, which is hilarious because Nintendo counts key cards as digital sales, but here they're calling it a physical. I, you know, it Nintendo's weird. Anyways, the game is available exclusively for the Switch 2 system, but Copia is a relaxing life sim. We know what this all is. There's paid DLC and some free updates and stuff. We know about all that. We don't have to go over the rest of this business wire post, but there you go. 5 million. Obviously, we don't know exactly how much over 5 million. It's not the only one to hit 5 million, though, as Sonic the Hedgehog's official account has come out and said, "We found our flame, and it's you. Thank you for helping Sonic Frontiers pass 5 million copies sold." Now, obviously, that also involves it being out for much longer and having discounts. And I know they were hoping the game would sell even better, but this is still a success for Sonic. If you look at the history of the Sonic franchise, they just need to keep doing better. They got to build upon this. And I'm pretty sure Sonic Frontiers 2 or some sort of game that follows up with Sonic Frontiers established is going to be coming because they did say this is the future of Sonic. So, says to celebrate, you know, the iconic Sonic Adventure shoe uh two shoes are now available to all players. So, that's really cool. They added a little free update there. Uh going back to some classics. So, guys, just some little updates there on two really big IPs. Uh, and now we got to jump right back to Pokemon before a completely different reason because let's just first go over what the news is and then we'll discuss why some people are mad and the first bit of news is just okay finally we got a date for something but it's more than that. So here we are at the Pokemon website says Pokemon Fire Red version and Pokemon Leaf Green version linked with Pokemon Home this October. So how are your journeys in the Kanto region going trainers? Are you ready to take your Pokemon on even more adventures? Pokemon Fire Red version and Pokemon Leaf Green version for Switch are set to link with Pokemon Home beginning in October 2026. Once linked, you'll able to transfer Pokemon befriended in these titles to Pokemon Home and bring them to other games. Once a Pokemon from Pokemon Fire Red or Leaf Green version is brought to another game in the Pokemon series, they will not be able to return for Fire Red and Leaf Green. This seems to be a restriction of their systems. Anyways, Pokemon from other games and Pokemon series will be unable to visit Pokemon Fire Red version or Leaf Green. So, you can't transfer any Pokemon into. You can just transfer Pokemon out of. It's still nice. It's still nice to have. It's a lot better than right now where you can't do either of those things. Uh, and yeah, they're going to talk about some other Celibby and Pokemon Home stuff, but we actually want to focus on the end here. This is where things get a little interesting. So, Pokemon Home news. As part of version 4.1.0 update coming in October, players enrolled in the premium paid plan will be able to deposit up to 9,000 Pokémon, increasing from the previous 6,000. The price of Pokemon Home Premium Plan is not changing. Following the new update in October, trainers will also be able to transfer Pokemon caught using a Safari ball in Pokemon Go for the first time. When these Pokemon are transferred to Pokemon Home, the Pokemon ball will change to a strange ball, which is what you're seeing here, right? Okay. Now, Pokemon Bank end of service. This is where this is where people are getting mad. All right. Pokemon Bank, a 3DS application that let players deposit or withdraw Pokemon they have befriended in Pokemon titles on that system from online boxes, will be ending service on Thursday, February 25th, 2027 at 7:00 p.m. Pacific. As a result, transferring Pokemon from Pokemon Bank to Pokemon Home will also no longer be possible. If you have Pokemon stored in Pokemon Bank that you wish to carry over, please move them to Pokemon Home prior to Pokemon Bank's end of service. Please note, Pokemon Bank is not currently available for download. If you don't already have it, you can't get Pokemon Bank. That already sucks. And now they're going to be ending the service. Now, look, I didn't fully understand a lot of this. So, uh, I went to the internet and I went to X, which might be one of the worst places to go if you want calm discussion. But, uh, yeah. Uh, someone decided to prompt AI to explain things to me. So, I'm going to bring the AI response to you and then I'm going to bring some actual human responses. Uh, so you guys can understand why people are upset about this if you don't know. So, Grock says here that Pokemon Bank is the only official bridge moving Pokemon from 3DS games and earlier ones via transporter into home and modern Switch titles. After February 27, 2027, that bridge locks forever. Anything still in those old games or left in bank just stay stuck there permanently. The series long promised your Pokemon travel with you across generations. This cuts that change for nearly everything pre-SW Switch except for a few getting direct home support like Fire Red and Leaf Green. collectors and people with old favorites lose the ability to use them in new games. Now, I understand this, but also I wasn't aware anyone was still playing these old games and that it was such a big deal. So, other people have come in to explain this and that includes this person here named uh Kiaara. Since Pokémon started, the games have been about collecting and trading. Originally, this was open and as more games came out expanded. Bank made it possible for gen 1 through 7 to be connected. Then, with the Switch, they were all connected with the link between bank and home. Now, we're cutting all those gens off with the removal of Bank. There are still quite a few Pokemon, especially shiny variants, that will be cut off by the removal of Bank, like shiny Celaby in Crystal 3DS Virtual Console Edition as one example. Home also has been getting more and more restrictive. If you are collecting just for having a living deck in home, this is fine. But look at how many games cannot move Pokémon between them once in home or trade at all between one or another. I think this is something that happened with Dexit. You guys can correct me in the comments. Like this was like a huge controversy back in the day. People have kind of accepted it today, but that doesn't mean it still doesn't suck, right? Anyways, Khara says, "If they had made this announcement, but given us an accessory that could take its place, it would still not have been perfect, but it would have landed much better. Having a way to trade from a legitimate 3DS console to a legitimate Switch would have been a nice gesture. Now we get nothing. have more than half of the generation of games cut off forever and are left with a software home that is inferior to what came before in many ways and more restrictive with the games it actually does support. Okay, so that is obviously one person's feedback. It doesn't end there. How about this guy called Steven Isbel who blew up with his take over on X as well saying thanks a bunch Pokemon. I currently live in Ultra Sun or Bank or I currently have a living Pokedex of all of Gen 1 through seven Pokemon. Over 200 shiny Pokemon, all Pokemon form variations, every legendary Pokemon from every version, including legendaries from Gamecube games. Now, you might go, "Hey, what's the big deal? Just transfer these all to home. What's the problem?" Now, he's going to show you what the problem is. So, now I have to decide if I want to keep my entire collection of well over 1,000 Pokemon trapped in Sun and Ultra Sun forever, or if I want to instead trap them in Pokemon Home, where most of them won't even be usable in current and future generations of games. I truly miss the days in Pokemon, which just let me collect and train them all. So, what he's essentially saying here is, okay, forget the fact that we lose the ability to transfer Pokemon back and forth and all of that. That sucks. But how about the fact that I'm left with basically one of two choices? I either leave all my Pokemon in one game so I have that complete decks there that I want or I transfer them to home where I can't even use them really anymore and they're just left there rotting with the hope that some future game might eventually let you port that one Pokemon in you want. So, I kind of understand all the frustrations. Of course, there's a lot of people like me that aren't really big Pokemon players that have been kind of like wondering what the heck is going on. Uh, and one person is trying to downplay it a bit. Obviously, a lot of people are. Uh, but I I kind of get the argument. I just like to present both sides here. So, this was an average game who said, "We're really witnessing more fake outrage." Um, and so this was someone talking about how cheap bank is to run trying to use the money excuse. I don't think money was ever really issue banks getting shut down. We'll talk about that in a moment, but here's what they said by looking it up apparently on on Google. said, "Yes, nearly all Pokémon 1,110 out of 1,100, sorry, 1,0 out of 1,025 total species are obtainable and playable across various Nintendo Switch games and ports." So, basically, the counterargument some people are making is, hey, most of these Pokemon you can obtain in the current modern games from Switch onward. You don't really need the old ones. Of course, a lot of the push back against that has been, sure, if you're just talking about a Pokemon existing at all, any version of it. Yes, you can obtain most of them in the current games, but there's special shiny editions, certain ribbon ones, special event ones, uh ones you obtain through certain means that are just no longer available. And yeah, obviously there's 15 that aren't available at all. But it's more than that. There's versions of these Pokemon that will never be available again either. So, that's something to consider that like if you catch supposedly, this is what I'm told. By the way, guys, I'm not an active Pokemon player, so correct me if I'm wrong, but if you catch a certain Pikachu in one game, but you catch Pikachu in a completely different game, they could have completely different stats. They can learn completely different moves. While they are the same Pokemon from the base, there is actually quite a lot of differences between them. And obviously for the competitive scene that could actually matter quite a bit as you might want to bring a certain Pokemon from a certain generation over versus the current version of it which might not have a certain move you want to use. So I do think that this is really interesting. I do think there's a lot to think about here. I think for most consumers just like with Dexit, this isn't really going to matter. I don't think the general consumer is really going to care because I don't think most of the casual consumers of Pokemon are even still playing the older games and worrying about Bank anymore. But that's not the point. The point is it's just another thing being taken away that you've always had and there doesn't really seem to be a monetary reason to do it. It's probably more like a structural thing or just them forcing you to get off the old games and into the new ones. Uh we all kind of know what's going on if we're completely honest with that with Firebred and Leaf Green coming out and now we have rumors that we're going to about to get like Ruby, Sapphire, and others, Emerald, you know, coming out uh this holiday season. If that's the case, and those eventually link to home too, I think it's pretty obvious they sunset bank so they can bring back all the classic games for $20 a pop on the eShop and put home on those, which look, it's better they do that than don't do anything at all. I will admit, but it still sucks because it's just making you spend more money to do something you've already done with the hundreds of hours, thousands of hours you put into it. It's I get it, guys. It's a frustrating situation. Uh, I'm kind of on your side that I I think that they should come up with a better solution, but as with anything that's cloud-based, it's not forever, and that sucks. All right, guys, let's get to some more positive news here. How about Hogwarts Legacy 2? We're at IGN here. It says Hogwarts Legacy 2 is officially in the works. So, the sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is actively in development, according to Warner Bros., the studio confirmed in their earnings report that a second installment for Hogwarts Legacy is in the works. No details were provided on what the game will look like or when it might release, but it appears to be a serious focus for the company going forward, which isn't a surprise. Hogwarts Legacy is the biggest, most successful game they've ever put out. So, it said, "We expect games to more meaningfully contribute to segment profitability going forward as our pipeline expands, including the second installment of Hogwarts Legacy." Now, this isn't really a big shock cuz the game was so successful, but hey, that's really cool. I'm really excited for I did enjoy the first Hogwarts Legacy. Controversies out there be damned. Art from artists be damned. I don't really care about any of that. I'm a gamer. I want to play fun games. Hogwarts Legacy is a really, really fun game. All right, guys. Let's go ahead and get into um another positive story, but a weird one. Uh some people assuming Sony's just going to invent sales out of nowhere. This was pointed out by a bunch of people, but I saw it by this user on X called uh Fail Z Oliver. Apparently, he's a fan of the channel. So, hi, man. I hope you're watching. Uh, so the Nintendo Switch surpasses PS2 and becomes the console with the most software sold in video game history. This was after the last financial report. People weren't paying attention, but there it is. The Nintendo Switch is number one at 1 billion 561 million pieces of software moved officially ahead of the PlayStation 2 and it's been ahead of the PS4 for a bit. So, there's never been a platform more successful than Nintendo Switch at selling software. That's really cool. Even if it never passes PS2 for total console sales, it can say, "Hey, our people who bought our console cared more about video games than anything else, which of course Switch couldn't play Netflix, and the YouTube app was kind of wonky at times, and Hulu was there for a bit and then went away." And so pretty much the only reason you buy a Switch, I guess, was to watch YouTube or or play games. So, no real surprise there. People were buying PS2s for the DVD and CD functionality back in the day. But still, PS2 had impressive software sales and so does Nintendo Switch. All right, guys. Now, we get to our final story. This is a leak for the 40th anniversary of Zelda. It's kind of weird. So, we'll start where I first saw this at Gaming Leaks and Rumors, right? It said, "XX_7500, he's a leaker out of China, has shared more photos on the Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2 Pro Controller box, including an image with a censored third Nintendo product coming that he cannot reveal. We're going to look at those in a moment. Basically, we know there's a controller and a console coming, but he's saying they're going to release a third product. All right, so let's go look at these images because yes, it is a censored image. Uh, so first off, this is a one of the new images of the box. Obviously, um much higher quality, much better framed. The guy obviously was able to take his time and not rush this screenshot, although it does censor the serial number at the top, which again prevents them from figuring out which manufacturing plant this came from, although this appears to be a UK controller. Okay, cool. That's all good. Um, but here's the other image. And this is one that's interesting because there's some measurements on here. I don't know if they're trying to show how big things actually are. So, we'll look at that. Uh, so first off, we look at the measurements here. You see it's in centimeters. So, it's kind of indicating the box is like, you know, when it's fully opened up about uh I would say you got the 12 mark there. Start at zero. Uh, so minus 12 from about 42. So, about 30 cm tall there or so. And then you can kind of see across you're looking at I don't know about about you know 17 18 centimeters. But again these are just rough estimates. I wouldn't really care too much about the measurements. Uh and this is obviously like a I don't know if that's a real life ruler or what that's used for for size comparison. But there's a mystery item behind this black box. And they did claim on their post in China that this is another item for Zelda's 40th anniversary. Now some people think that this might be Ocarine of Time and it's box art. That is possible because those are probably being printed right now. Uh, it is entirely possible that there's a mystery third item. Maybe it's a 40th anniversary amiibo box. That could be what's in there. That one actually wouldn't be too surprising if there's a 40th anniversary amiibo. So, that is a common go-to. Some people speculated maybe they'll sell the Joy-Con on their own. Maybe there'll be Switch One Joy-Con that'll be 40th anniversary themed. Maybe there's a Switch One Pro Controller that's 40th anniversary themed. Those are possibilities. Maybe there's a Switch 2 camera that's 40 like remember they have camera functionality now. Maybe there's a Zelda camera that's coming. Like there's a lot of possibilities for this. It could also be a mystery game coming out. We really don't know. Uh I don't know when this person is going to reveal it. They say essentially that they can't reveal it. Like they are unable to reveal it at this time, which I think is weird because I'm pretty sure you weren't supposed to post the stuff about the controller. You weren't supposed to post the stuff about the console, but now this third item you're holding back. Obviously, they could be full of That's one thing. uh something might be lost in translation where we're not understanding exactly why they can't share this. That's also a highly likely possibility. Or they want you to keep coming back and they really are teasing something and they just want to reveal it later to keep attention going and keep hype driving, which is also possible. There's this also way out there possibility that this is an intentional leak. Uh corporations have done intentional leaks. This is well known. Uh but we never really know when it's intentional or not unless it's blatantly obvious. Maybe this is an intentional leak where you can't reveal it right now because the time period to intentionally leak it hasn't arrived yet and it's just Nintendo gauging and driving hype getting into their event for the 40th anniversary. Although Nintendo likes to surprise and delight. So this kind of goes counterintuitive to their surprise and delight. So I'm not so sure that Nintendo really participates in intentional leaks based on their own company policy. But they could say one thing publicly and do a different thing privately. Uh, chances are this is all just legit leaks and the guy's just attention-seeking and he's just going to wait and wait and wait to reveal what this is. I don't doubt that there's a third item because this guy has access to stuff. Obviously, he probably works at these manufacturing plants. Um, so take that for you. Well, there's also an interesting thing on a note down here. Looks like this image was actually taken back in July 10th. That's very interesting as well. So, this isn't even a recent image. This is just some that they took a while back and just chose to leak. Now, this is interesting. That's all I'm going to say. It's very interesting. Uh I don't know what any of it means, but I do know that that is something that happened. Uh and this is like where people were first finding it. Uh on the English side of things, even though Spanish was behind the games who put this up there, you speculating on amiibo or Joy-Cons, but he obviously doesn't know. Uh all this stuff comes from Chinese forums. That's why we're not heading over there because it's very messy, hard to get through, at least for me. Obviously, for a native speaker, it's probably fine to navigate, just as easy as any website here. All right, guys. That's what I got for you. Thank you so much for tuning in. I am Nathan Rob from Nintendo Prime. What a banger of a video for you guys today. It's good to be back, guys. We'll catch you in the next one.
