We are giving away a Nintendo Switch 2 right now. In order to enter, you can click on the link down in the pin comment or the description. The only requirement is to be subscribed to the channel. We'll be drawing the winner on October 1st. All right, guys. We got to go ahead and get into today's news. We have a even better look at that leaked Pro Controller for the Nintendo Switch 2. So, we're going to be checking that one out, as well as some additional evidence that it is real from another leaker. Uh, we also have a smidge of a leak for a Zelda movie sort of advertisement. We got to take a look at that. Uh, Crimson Desert developers talk about the game coming to Switch 2 next year. That's right. We got to go over that. Call of Duty, which is coming out later this year. Modern Warfare 4, we have a new trailer and an update for that to go over. We have some news on Final Fantasy Residence to get into. And Switch exclusive orbitals, which releases very, very soon, also gets an update as well. So, we have some good stuff to get into. Let's go ahead and dive into our first story that deals with the Zelda stuff. So, here we have that leaked pro controller with a better look at it. This is obviously edited a little bit by AI, but it gives you a really good look at it popped out from the box. You can really get a good look at all of the details there, as well as the back. Again, obviously, you can see the missing light. This is obviously edited by AI. This is not what it's going to look like 100%. It's just based off of the box and obviously having AI mess with some things, but it does look quite nice. And I got to say as an onlooker here that I'm really excited for uh what this is going to bring us. And obviously we just got to see the price. But if you want more evidence on this being real here, we mentioned yesterday that Nintend was part of this. And here is where he was part of it. He put out there the 0084Z col, G, G. And here's what he said. It looks like the 40th anniversary special edition console and controller fully leaked. For anyone curious about the cryptic post he made, here's what it meant. be 008 equals Switch 2 Pro controller model number. The 40Z is Zelda's 40th and the B GGG is black, gold, and green. And these are the actual leaked images that we talked about. And when you get the controller, you can see it definitely is black, green, and gold. That is the theme. Look, black on the left, green on the right, gold. So, you get it. You understand it. That's what he was going for. So, again, Nintendo's also got a really, really damn good track record. So, we have every reason to believe this stuff is legit. We also have a reason to believe this is legit. This is for the Zelda movie. It looks like, you know, they must be planning the show fairly soon, probably during Zelda's 40th because they're advertising it now here. Uh, so this is uh from, you know, a guy named Daniel who's at, you know, going at Peter Mog saying is at a licensing con the biggest event and business meeting for brand and character licensing in Latin America. And the movie of The Legend of Zelda is making his presence felt at the event. Hold on to 2027 because a movie and lots of licensed products are coming your way. Okay. So, basically what he's saying is at a con that has a bunch of licensing stuff, uh, this is there and with this being there, it is a sign that there must be a bunch of movie merchandise coming in 2027. None of the movie merchandise, as far as we're aware, is being shown off at this event. So, you're not going to see any leaks, but obviously companies are willing to mention and are allowed to mention now that they do have the movie licensing rights for whatever. So, guys, we just have to look forward to a lot of that stuff. Some of it could get announced in the Zelda 40th event whenever they decide to do that. Or maybe none of it will be announced till next year, closer to when the movie comes out. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Uh, next up, the Crimson Desert dev has commented on the status of the Switch 2 port. And yeah, guys, it's no longer just like a pipe dream. It's coming. Uh, it's targeting the first half of 2027. So, Pearl Abyss has commented on the Switch 2 port at Crimson Desert, providing the most encouraging update we've had so far. In the latest earnings letter, the company said it is now currently playable at a foundational level and technical evaluations are underway to ensure the performance optimization and compliance with our quality standards. The other important piece is the first half of 2027. Here's the full note. It says, "We are striving to make Crimson Desert available across as many platforms as possible. However, platform expansion is not merely a straightforward port. The key requirement is ensuring the game's graphics, combat, action, and seamless open world experience are fully preserved on each target device. In the case of Switch 2, while optimization is required, the game is currently playable at a foundational level and technical evaluations are underway to ensure performance optimization and compliance with our quality standards. While it is difficult to confirm a definitive launch schedule at this time, we're working towards a release target for the first half of 2027. We'll provide updates through our official channels once details are finalized. So again guys, it went from R&D to hey, now it's coming out first half of 2027. Guys, I've kind of known this game is coming to Switch since last year. They've been working on this port for quite a while. Uh it's really exciting. Obviously Kiwi Talks came in and exclusively dropped the news on our Nintendo tonight. We have another episode with Super Metal Dave coming on and Shadow Fox Infinite. If you don't know who he is, you're about to find out. He's got a lot of uh stuff to say and some deep knowledge of the industry. Uh, next up we got to talk about Call of Duty because a new trailer dropped. So, here's that new trailer, but it's about Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 and uh, we got to look at some new stuff here. So, uh, we're going to go down to, uh, the trailer aspect here. It says Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 launches for Switch on October 23rd. This is a look at the campaign, a first look. Uh, pre-orders for the console are going up and all of that. And we're looking at a traffic trailer. Actually, it's what we're technically looking at here. Uh, and just to kind of remind you guys about, you know, what the actual game's about, you know, war erupts on the Korean peninsula. North Korea launches a full-scale invasion that threatens to destabilize the world of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4. A young squad of South Korean soldiers fights to survive on the collapsing front lines while a half a world away vengeful Captain Price wages a personal war from the shadows as he stays one step ahead of those hunting him. As Price's offbook mission collides with the forces behind the invasion, the war spreads beyond anyone's control. Modern Warfare War pushes the series in the darker and more dangerous territory where consequences and escalation bring long-running storylines to a powerful and emotional breaking point. So yeah, guys, look, Call of Duty is looking really, really good. Uh, obviously, you know, I want to go hands-on with it. I'm supposed to be part of a play test for the Switch 2 version, and I think I'll get to go hands-on again with it at PAX West potentially. So stay tuned for our coverage on that. Uh, and what you can actually enjoy right now is our coverage of Final Fantasy Residence because we have an extended gameplay look here. So, have a look. Uh, and it says, you know, making the franchise's return to turn-based RPGs and its debut in HD 2D visuals, Final Fantasy Residence is coming to Switch 2 and Switch on October 22nd, 2026, and has just received an extended gameplay video you're watching right now. Now, it's a 16-minute video. Uh, so guys, you're not going to see the whole thing here. If you want to watch the whole thing, you'll have have to head on over to IGN's video on this. We'll put a link down in the description. But here's some general information about the game for those that don't know anything about Final Fantasy Residence. So, return to the pixelated world of Final Fantasy in this evolution of its classic roots. Embark on an adventure with allies bound by fate and summon visions to aid you in battle and uncover the truth behind a force threatening to plunge the world into ruin. Now, there are there is cinematic pixel art. So, what if Final Fantasy had continued to push the boundaries of pixel art? Final Fantasy Resonance, the first HD 2D Final Fantasy title in our portfolio, delivers a stunning visual experience that blends nostalgia with the new enhanced by dynamic camera angles and pixelated 3D models that make every moment more dramatic and immersive. So, this is a return to the familiar with a classic adventure RPG unfolds in a world filled with beloved elements from the Final Fantasy universe such as airship, crystals, espers, and moogles are just some of the many elements woven into the story, exploit enemy weaknesses, as well for strategic turn-based battles to stagger them and break their defenses, granting you extra turns, and an opportunity to dominate them with powerful resonance attacks, all in cinematic battles driven by a smart choice. Now, there are some legends in here. So, strengthen your party with visions, echoes of beloved Final Fantasy characters who fight alongside with you with unique skills and abilities offering a high degree of customization, and look, a ton of side content. So, the world is filled with secrets, including the wandering swordsman, Gilgamesh, the coliseum, an arena featuring deadly monsters and rewards to match, the chamber of arms, a chamber filled with formidable enemies sealed with legendary weapons, and a confrontation with the ultima weapons. So yeah, man. You know, there's going to be some manufacturing, some mini games, and all this stuff, guys. There's just a ton a ton of stuff in this game. You guys should definitely go check it out. It is on my to watch list. Uh and we'll see if I end up uh picking this one up for myself. Uh it won't be this year, obviously, but I do have a giant list of games I plan to purchase from this year, next year. So, this is on that list. Let's see if it continues to stay there. One game that's also on that list is Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive Orbitals. And now we know why it was made for Switch 2. So an orbital Orbitals dev on why the game was made for Switch 2. So here is from the game director Jacob Lundren and he said this in a new interview. So when it comes to why we chose the Switch 2 for Orbitals, remember it is an exclusive guys. I think it makes a lot of sense. One of the reasons is because when you play a game like this, if you play it locally, you only have to buy one game and we want that to be the case even if you play together with someone online. So that's where game share comes in and it kind of becomes the perfect fit for a game like this because you just buy one game and then you can use game share in order to share it with someone else. And even when we're developing the game, we use game share a lot in order to test the game. And the funny thing that happens is sometimes being a game studio, there's controllers everywhere, but sometimes you just can't find one within reach. So then we'll just grab another console and we'll just use GameS Share instead to play together. So Game Share seems to be a really big feature for them when it comes to orbitals. Uh guys, obviously uh some people went hands- on with it. Stash went hands- on with orbitals back at Summer GameFest. He dropped a preview. I'll link to that down below if you guys are curious what Thunder Stash Gaming. Had to think about it as someone who actually went hands-on with it. Uh this game comes out September 3rd. So again, it's right around the corner. Uh it's, you know, the next big Switch 2 exclusive game coming out. It's not made by Nintendo, but from what we can tell in all the previews, it seems to stand up to that Nintendo like quality we've come to know and love. But again, it's not made by Nintendo. The game's not out. Maybe there's some major issues. I doubt it, though, because all the previews are just I don't know, glazing the game, I suppose, but seemingly deservedly so. Uh, we'll find out on September 3rd or obviously when reviews drop. Anyways, we'll know if it's a broken mess uh probably the day before or two days before that. All right, guys. That's going to do it uh for the video today. Not, you know, the most jam-packed news ever. We don't have 20 30 minutes of news here, but hey guys, we have a massive 4 hour plus podcast coming the night. We got to talk about a Nintendo Direct that's coming up. We got to talk about the Zelda 40th anniversary coming up. We have a lot we actually need to get into. Some some particulars within the game industry, especially with the price increase coming for Nintendo Switch 2 and more. There's just a lot to go over. We have guest Super Metal Dave and Shadow Fox Infinite coming on. Hope you guys come to check it all out, including guys some updates to Switch too around ray tracing. We're going to be talking about that as well. There's a lot in tonight's episode you're not going to want to miss. So hopefully I'll see all you guys on the next episode of the Nintend podcast. Otherwise, I'll catch you in a new video tomorrow.
