Ocarina of Time CONTINUES to Impress!

All right, everyone. I am excited to remind you we are giving away a Nintendo Switch 2 right now. We'll be drawing the winner on October 1st. The only requirement to even enter is to just be subscribed to the channel. And without further ado, I want to get into what we're talking about today. We actually have a bunch of brand new footage for Nintendo Switch 2's Ocarina of Time remake. Uh some of you guys might look at it and go, "Well, it doesn't look too new." It is. There are like extra seconds and extra stuff, but more so it's another look at like the amazing audio of this game and a nice reminder of some other footage that we've seen before now with full audio as well. I'm just guys this is really exciting stuff to me. I am on top of all this Zelda stuff like I don't know like white on rice or brown on rice whatever the saying is. Uh more than that guys we have well an analyst out there talking about how Nintendo saved the console market in Japan. And I think that's a really interesting thing to look at. Uh we have some updates for Famitsu. So these are the sales data for last week to look at. And guys, look, I know I talked about the Zelda footage, and that's great. Uh we also have our first ever footage, handheld footage at that of Monster Hunter Wilds running on Switch 2, and before I get to that footage, I just want to note, uh it's running really well. Like it's running better than it did at launch on other platforms. I don't know what is happening at Capcom. I don't really get the wizardry going on with RE Engine and Switch 2 and why it pairs so damn well together when it has struggled on other consoles. But all I can do is say, damn, it feels good to get the best Capcom has on Nintendo Switch 2. So, really exciting stuff, guys. So, without further ado, I guess let's go ahead and get into our first story. This one is about an analyst saying that Nintendo saved the Japanese console market sector and it would have been completely eliminated without the Switch's success. Very interesting. So, there's no doubt about it. The Switch is Nintendo's biggest hit ever. The system has moved a whopping 156 million units since launch, and it continues to find customers and move tons of software. Nintendo truly turned things around after the misfire of the Wii U. And one analyst thinks Japan's game industry might have been forever changed for the worse without Nintendo Switch's success. In a chat with the game business, Dr. Cirin Toto, CEO of analytics from Contan Games, Inc. spoke about how much the Switch's prosperity and reach has meant to Japan. According to Toto, Japan's console market may have up and disappeared without the Switch blowing expectations away. I would say that if Nintendo produced another flop like the Wii U and a Switch wasn't the super hit it turned out to be, the Japanese console market would have been completely eliminated. I think that even more people would have turned to smartphones and maybe even PC. Nintendo not only completely dominates the console segment here in Japan with 70% market share for all gaming content, but they also saved it. Nintendo Switcher's success is continuing with the Switch 2, which seems to at least be on par with Switch in terms of reception, but most data shows it surpassing Nintendo's last gen juggernaut. We'll keep tabs on the situation going forward, but all indications point to yet another incredible triumph for Nintendo in terms of sales and customer base. And it's undeniable, guys. Like, it's still one of the fastest selling platforms in gaming history, one of the fastest selling Nintendo platforms in gaming history. And it is faster selling than the Nintendo Switch. Obviously, we'll see if this continues as we get further into year two and start talking about year three. Obviously, games they believe drive sales. And look, we'll see if Fire Emblem leads to a boost in sales this week uh in Japan because we do get actual data from Japan. Other places we have to wait much longer to even get like Circana, right? I'm talking about like Circana for uh the the US and North American region. Like they give us data, but the data they give publicly is like very vague and we don't really get exact numbers. we have to work on estimates that go all the way back uh to when they used to give numbers. So, people have been building and paying attention since then because you can kind of do some math and get some rough estimates. That being said, guys, uh I'm just really happy that obviously the console market is still alive and thriving in Japan. Not everything though is necessarily in Nintendo's favor in Japan quite yet with consoles. And that's where we have to get to the Famitsu sales. So, as we dive into this, you see the sales for last week 97 and 913. Well, first just go look at the hardware because the story I want to tell here about how Nintendo isn't necessarily dominating everything in Japan has to do with the software. But we look at the hardware sales obviously switched to at number one at 28,341 units. The sales actually increasing over the last couple of weeks. So, we're seeing this get back up to 30,000. Maybe it's going to start doing 40,000 a week here as we head into the holidays. Uh PlayStation 5 digital edition is sitting there at 7,082. Switch Light at 3,791. Uh you're seeing the Switch OLED at 2,913. And then obviously the Switch at 855. Now you can add those all together and technically the Switch is out selling the PlayStation 5 digital edition and the PlayStation 5 in general which only sold 117 units and PlayStation 5 Pro at 295. So yes, technically Switch One is out selling even PlayStation 5. But hey, that's the charts there. What I actually wanted to note though, despite the hardware sales showing Nintendo dominance, and the software sales do show it too, there's one game that released this week in Japan that I think is going to at least show that Nintendo has not necessarily taken over everything with the console space. Again, a 7030 split is a very healthy split, but that does mean there's still that 30% that aren't relying on Nintendo for their stuff. That 30% obviously being people that buy Xbox and obviously a majority of them are PlayStation owners. So, as we go up here, we're seeing Rhythm Heaven Groove still at number one. That's awesome. No big deal there. 24,756. But then it's Oni Musha at number two. That's really interesting because that's on Switch One. I'm sorry, Switch Two and PlayStation 5. And Oni Musha Way of the Sword has 19,654 units. That's a PS5 version. So, where's the Switch 2 version? All the way down at number five with 7,000 units moved. Now, obviously, PlayStation 5 does have a larger install base at the moment. than the Nintendo Switch 2. Although that is changing, you know, pretty rapidly here. You can go and add all the PlayStation numbers together and it is ahead of the Switch 2, but the Switch 2 is catching up very fast. It might even surpass it by the end of this full second year of Switch 2. So, it is interesting though since the install bases are semieal that Oni Musha, a Capcom game, a Japanese game, is actually selling better on PlayStation better than 2 to one. I mean, it's almost 3 to one. Like, they're like 1,500 sales away from it being a 3:1 ratio of how much better it's selling on PS5 than Switch 2. Now, maybe Switch 2 will have a longer trail of sales and so it ends up catching up to the PlayStation 5 version over time. That's always possible. The install base keeps growing while the PS5 base isn't growing as much. And next thing you know, maybe the evergreen sales end up favoring Switch 2 for Oni Musha. And on Musha on Switch 2, by all metrics, seems to be a really, really good version of the game. So, uh, it's very interesting to see though that obviously for certain games, people are still tuning into PlayStation, which means a lot of the people interested in that game are not people that are necessarily owners of a Nintendo platform or at least look to Nintendo platforms for those kind of games. So, it is just really interesting to think about and talk about because obviously, you know, Sony's not entirely out of the uh the sphere in Japan. Yeah, they're not nearly to the level of Nintendo. And you could even see on this chart, look, that's the only PS5 game in the top 10. You can when they get later expands to the top 30, you'll see there's like maybe five PS5 games in there and everything is Switch and Switch 2. Uh so yeah, that Nintendo is dominating. We're not pretending otherwise, but there's just still certain IPs and certain genres and certain types of third party games that do better. Now, obviously, uh there's been some people putting out there that, well, third-party games just don't sell on Nintendo. And like that's literally not true, cuz like the number five best seller is a third party game on a Nintendo platform. The number six bestseller is a third party game on a Nintendo platform. The number seven bestselling is well, Minecraft, and that's a third-party game on a Nintendo platform. It sold over 4 million units in Japan. Uh so, yeah, Village of the Shade, that's a third party game. Romance of the Three Kingdom. So, like, yeah, obviously Nintendo games always seem to pop pretty high because again, a lot of people love Nintendo games, but we can't sit there and pretend third parties don't sell on Switch 2. I think it's just one of those things where um there's obviously still an audience for PlayStation. We can't ignore that PlayStation is a popular platform. And I just, you know, they're popular due to third parties. That is what they've been relying on since PS1. So, they have built a reputation of expectation on their platform. Nintendo built a reputation to expect first party, but with Switch and now Switch 2 really we're starting to see third parties come around and bring good versions of their games and I think that is worth noting. And the thing is as we're talking about Capcom and Oni Musha, we really should be talking about Monster Hunter Wilds. It is coming to Switch 2 and uh we have our first ever gameplay of it on Switch 2 thanks to TGS. There's a ton of footage out there. This is just the first footage I found. So I just want to give them uh the credit and the shout out here. So, we're going to flip over here to MOGA here. Says the Switch 2 version of Wilds performs so good. Now, again, this is not going to be the highest quality footage and you could probably find some more that's like a better resolution cuz the resolution on this is obviously blurry overall. You can see how the Switch 2 itself is blurry, but that's not the point. The point is how well it's running. So, you see him play here obviously in a more enclosed area. And this is looking rather smooth. Obviously, targeting 30 FPS. Uh, it looks good. The visuals look good. It doesn't look like there's like this massive like 240 sort of dip in resolution. They're probably using DLSS, but whatever the case is, it's running fairly smooth as he runs through here. Eventually going to come up on uh one of the monsters, of course. And uh it it's just guys, this is running really really well. We have a different shot though, showing a more open area because that's really the the places that people were concerned is the more open areas of Monster Hunter Wilds. How does it perform? And you're going to see the performance doesn't actually change a whole lot. Um, so he's coming up here on the monster. Doesn't really get into combat with it. But don't worry, we got some stuff here right here. This is a more open zone and literally in the middle of a monster fight, which is one of the most intense things to do. Multiple players, everyone beating it down. And um, it looks like it's holding. It legitimately looks like it's holding its frame rate as they sit here and fight this monster. So guys, I honestly And again, not just the frame rate, it even looks good. Now, again, obviously some of the blurriness is because the footage isn't the highest quality, and we're on X, which I'm going to just admit X doesn't have great um great codecs and all of that for their videos uh to just to reduce on bandwidth. But guys, this looks really, really good. Uh you're seeing about a minute and six here of Monster Hunter Wilds. And again, there's a lot of footage of this out on the internet. So, I want to be very clear, we're not the only ones that have this footage. Uh there's lots of people out there. I think it's wonderful, though. I think it's amazing. I got to just be completely honest with you guys. Monsters of Wilds looks like it's legitimately a good game on Switch 2, which is wild because those same sort of instances were causing massive dips on other platforms at launch. I'm not saying Monster Wilds hasn't been patched and fixed since then, and I'm sure whatever optimizations they did for Switch 2 will lead to the game being better on other platforms. We've actually seen that be a consistent story throughout the Switch 2's generation. these later ports of older games, when I say older, I just mean games that came out before Switch 2, like they came out, you know, on other platforms first. We are seeing as they get optimized for Switch 2, those optimizations lead to improvements on other platforms. So, I don't know, again, I don't know what it is with Resident Evil, or I shouldn't say that, it's not Resident Evil, it's just called the RE Engine. I don't know what it is about re engine from Capcom and why it works so damn well on Switch 2 when other engines like Unreal Engine 5 had to have like custom updates to even make it function right. But I'm just going to say this is just good news for us and good news that probably going to continue to get pretty much everything Capcom has to offer in the future. Even the Oni Musha stuff, those sales aren't bad. They're just, you know, some people might expect them to beat the PS5. Let's wait a little bit till later in the generation. you might see or start to see that the Nintendo Switch 2 sales of those third party Capcom games are actually higher than they are on PlayStation 5, but or PlayStation 6 at the time. We'll see when that comes out. Speaking of gameplay footage though, we got to get to Zelda Ocarine of Time. Probably the most hyped Nintendo game for the rest of the year now that today Fire Emblem, you know, has launched, right? We have Fire Emblem Fortunes we've launched today. Just to remind you guys about that. if you haven't picked up your copy yet or if you're uh waiting for your pre-orders to arrive through the mail or maybe you were lucky and got it early or you have no interest. But that was probably the biggest game Nintendo had on slate beyond Ocarina of Time remake. No offense Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, you might actually outs sell Ocarina of Time Remake over time, but the Nintendo sports games and like the fitness games, they sell consistently evergreen over many, many years. I don't suspect that Switch Sports Resort is going to outsell Fire Emblem or Ocarina of Time remake this year. That being said, Ocarina of Time is obviously the big hyped game, the big remake, and we've been talking every day about it for essentially because Nintendo keeps dropping goods. There keeps being new images, new footage, uh if not new footage, new audio from the footage that we haven't heard clearly because last time we got that footage was actually like either through like the website or through something else and it just didn't have the full audio going well. So, first we're going to go over to the official Zelda one. We've getting a lot of clips from over here because they keep putting up new clips. We actually have three new ones, uh, which is awesome. And all of it's about the music, uh, for different reasons. So, we're going to start with this one here. I'm going to pause it here because, again, I want you guys to actually hear this full audio. Uh, but it says, "By playing the mysterious ocarina, various effects occur. The sun's song, for example, instantly switches between day and night." So, let's go ahead and watch a day and night sequence and just hear what it sounds like. I mean that is the music, the sounds. Oh my gosh, that is some great stuff here. But again, we have more clips to get into. So, it says by humming into an ocarina uh in the microphone on switch two, you can also play the ocarina melody within the game. All right, so they talked about this and now let's see it in action. Okay, so that's really cool. Obviously, it's nice to see the humming stuff in action, which is really neat. And then we have one last clip for you guys, at least from the official Zelda channel, saying, additionally, by actually playing a musical instrument, and this includes, you know, an ocarina for chance, but pretty much any musical instrument that can produce notes, you can also play the ocarina's melody within the game. Again, this is a completely new feature. The humming and the playing the instruments to do the game stuff. This is literally a completely new feature for this version of the game. It doesn't exist in any prior Ocarina game. So, here's what it sounds like with someone using an instrument. And as you can see, it didn't even matter that the instrument was obviously uh the person playing it was obviously not playing the same um you know octave and the and the same exact uh you know rhythm and and notes. But what happened is obviously it played the general sense of the notes going da da da da da da and it just knew it just knew that that's that's the song that it wants to play which is obviously pretty obvious. There's a lot of pattern recognition with this stuff. Uh so kudos to Nintendo for putting that in there. Obviously thank you for this amazing footage. The first piece of footage we showed I think being the best because it not it doesn't just show the transition from day to night using sunong. It also gave you again another epic listen at that Hierrule field music. Uh that is awesome. We have some more sound for you guys from different clips. I believe these ones originated on the Japanese website. We might have talked about them before but it's only 15 seconds. So I figured you know what with us not having quite as much to show today at least for our other stories. This is actually quite a bit for Ocarina of Time because we've only had like one of these clips a day. So having four now is wild. Uh I just wanted to listen to this cuz it has some combat stuff going on and some other music and I think it's pretty good. Uh this was posted obviously by a different user. That's why this isn't like posted by Nintendo. I'm pretty sure it's their Japanese website. Anyways, it says 48 days remain until the release of this historic game. So again, let's just take a listen to what this is while we watch the game play. So there you go. Uh that is some well sound direct audio feed of direct gameplay of Ocarina of Time. I am so excited for this game guys. Like literally I don't know how much I can do every day to show my excitement other than just go thank you Nintendo. You have made seemingly I haven't played it yet. I'll probably be even hella more thankful after I play it, but you have made seemingly the remake of my dreams for this game. You have brought my childhood to life. You didn't have to do it. You didn't have to do it this way. You could have just HDD or 4K Ocarina of Time 3D and it would have been okay, but it wouldn't have felt like my childhood because my childhood was the original Ocarina of Time. And uh it was much darker and more realistic than what Ocarina Time 3D did. This is awesome. So, thank you Nintendo. Just like I am so thankful about the live action Zelda movie that hasn't even come out yet because you could have went animated, you could have went studio jibli, you could have went with what seems like the obvious route and instead you went basically the Lord of the Rings route and that's exactly what I've been hoping for ever since I saw Lord of the Rings growing up was, man, I would really love a liveaction Zelda movie that's kind of like this. And now we you have like reports out there that some of these actors and actresses have been signed for multiple films really suggesting that you're probably doing a trilogy of Zelda movies. Kind of like the trilogy for Lord of the Rings. You even film in some of the same locations. I Oh man, I'm just so excited uh for the future of the Zelda franchise. And before you know it, guys, we'll be talking about the new 3D Zelda game that might be coming as soon as 2028. Then we'll be talking about other remakes, other ports, other remasters, probably a Hyrule Warriors game and more over the coming like five years, guys. There's so much coming our way. So, thank you Nintendo. I don't know what I did to deserve getting the timeline that suits me. And I'm so sorry for some of you out there where this timeline is not suiting your tastes, but I'm going to fully enjoy this because this is the timeline we live in. This is the reality we have. And Nintendo couldn't be making me happier with the Zelda franchise right now. the consistency of the releases, the not having to wait 10 years between 3D Zelda games. Uh the unbelievable job they seem to be doing with this remake, the movie, the merchandise, even they made like a mistake with one of the the quiz things on the card packs on the Nintendo app if you didn't know. And now they're going to correct that. So even when they make a mistake like that, they're fixing it. So cool, everyone can win. I'm just, man, obviously they're a for-profit company and they do all this to make money, but I'm so willing to give money for a lot of this stuff because it is it's fun and it's worth for the entertainment it provides to my life. Might not be worth it for you. Obviously, values up to the individual just like beauty and everything else. Eye of the beholder. All right, guys. Thank you so much for tuning in. I AM THE ROBOT JETS FROM Nintendo Prime and as always I'll catch you guys in the next video.
