So we have a lot to talk today about Nintendo Switch 2 and look there are so many stories to throw in here it's hard for me to even try to summarize but I'm going to attempt to do it. First up we have some updates on the screen being reportedly used for the Nintendo Switch 2 coming from a very reputable place that actually has a history of being correct on these things based on their job. It's actually quite fascinating because they were right about something that had to do with the Nintendo Switch itself. Next up after that we have to look at the fact that a brand new evidence is creeping up for colored buttons this time directly from Nintendo's marketing which could indicate colored buttons being a differentiator for being able to tell a switch to Joy-Con or Joy-Con 2 from today's Joy-Cons but more than that we also have some evidence here that Nintendo is actually going to be emphasizing and this is a rumor but still a fascinating one the idea of having your old library be upgraded on Nintendo Switch 2 and emphasizing how important they think your game library is so I feel like this is very very fascinating to think about as well and then our last one actually deals with a combination of a hiring post and a patent from Nintendo that's dealing with multimedia streaming services which currently do not exist and would likely be implemented for Nintendo's next system that's right folks we have a four pack of Nintendo Switch 2 stuff dropping for you right now so what are we waiting for let's dive in now this first thing actually comes from an article a report over at Bloomberg the report is based on the omnia analyst Hiroshi Hayase who doesn't just make guesses but he actually bases his information on inside information within the supply chains for companies in particular with a special focus on displays he said and corroborates rumors from Nate the hate last year that a new Nintendo console will launch with an eight inch LCD display in 2024 they did reach out for Nintendo to comment on this and Intel's response was simply we have nothing to comment on for Akawa in the past did try skirting around specific rumors last year and that's really cool but he never actually talked about the rumored screen size and they still aren't denying that so I just I just kind of find that to be a little fascinating the crazy part here is they also provide a chart about Nintendo doubling the demand for sustained amusement displays from just over 10 million in 2023 a number that are no way to really verify and this is a calendar year number so I don't even know how much over 10 million this is charts can be kind of deceiving anyways there's something much closer to 25 million this year and it's hard to foresee Nintendo moving 25 million pieces of switch to even 25 million with switch plus switch to combine so I look I don't really know where these numbers come from what they're based on what devices are included in them but I guess the point of the chart here is to show that because switch to is coming this year Nintendo has massively increased the orders of displays of this type so that I guess that's the idea to show the stark difference from last year to this year and future years with switch to now I do need to give some credit here to Andres restart because one thing about this analyst I find to be quite fascinating is this is not the first time he has said something about screens and what Nintendo is doing thanks to a report by the same person who put this report up at Bloomberg in Takahashi Matazuki actually put up an article back in 2016 and if we go look at this article here from Andres research video this comes from the same person Hiroshi Hayehase and he says we expect a small recovery and shipments of flat panel displays for game devices because of Nintendo's new game harbor expected to release in 2016 you see this was again an article towards the end of January and again it's from Hiroshi Hayehase who at the time was an analyst for IHS technology and the firms display forum held in Tokyo so this guy's been connected for a long time and we obviously know back then it was widely believed widely widely believed that the Nintendo switch was slated for 2016 at that time but obviously you know due to needing to get the game line up ready and all of that ended up not coming out factually until 2017 and it was so early into 2017 I don't think it's like hard to imagine Nintendo might have wanted to announce it ideally for the holiday season prior especially since they didn't have anything else but the NES classic anyways that's neither here nor there because look this is really cool and the idea of an eight inch display has been out there for a while the last time we talked about this in fact it was talked about how the display could be 1080p which would obviously be a nice increase from 720 so I do think that that is really really good so I am excited about that and I'm also excited about this next and we're going to talk about with Nintendo switch too because while this is still widely believed to be speculation and rumors and you know I don't even know I'm not even rumors this is more so on the speculation side is we've been talking about the color button theory for a long time I know a lot of people have been theorizing about it across the internet as colored buttons have started to appear in third-party games Nintendo first-party games etc in the second half of 2023 and now we have some more evidence that was discovered by nintendo leaks but again because of the language barrier I don't understand their videos but Andres Restart does and if we go over and look at his video we can see in one of Nintendo's marketing videos for Nintendo live we can see an X button that's blue a B button that's yellow an A button that's red that's right we are seeing the SNES colored buttons appear in Nintendo official marketing that is obviously fascinating and just adds to the color button theory that maybe Nintendo is slowly subconsciously trying to get us used to this idea of colored buttons so we start to make this association to a new system that they are going to announce this year that might feature colored buttons I don't really care about color buttons overall if I'm being honest but it does add a little bit of character and flavor and I'm not against it I mean I got nothing against colored buttons we've had color buttons on the xbox controllers for a while as well so hey I'm all for it if I'm completely honest now we're not done with switch shoe I mentioned we had four different things to get into so what if I were to tell you that there's a new rumor out there talking about backwards compatibility and enhancements that will just be there for your back catalog well here we go over to Nash Weedle who has sort of referenced this stuff in the past of Bayonetta and being able to you know put your old Bayonetta games into switch to and get enhancements but that was like a specific case this is sounding like it might be more broad strokes across the entire medium here's what he tweeted out now again still a rumor and Nash Weedle you can see right here this is where he is on my rumor believability scale he's not in the wishful thinking category but still sort of questionable we're for a lot of things he has said to bear fruit beyond the Metroid Dread stuff but get into what he said here with the translation it says it seems that a large part of switch to marketing campaign is to emphasize from the beginning and in a very persistent way how your games will look on the new console so they're going to be emphasizing visuals which is very unlike Nintendo but this is a new president so I'm not opposed to this especially if it's an iterative system you got to be able to mention something marketing wise and you'll be like this is why you get it and maybe visuals and visuals enhancements are the way anyways he also says they will give importance to the user's catalog which jumps generations and elevates their experience let me read that again again just a rumor they will give importance to the user's catalog now he doesn't say back catalog but he does say their catalog which jumps generations and elevates their experience now to me folks this clearly is indicating backwards compatibility and talking about how we're going to see a lot of visual enhancements to our older switch games you just take that switch cartridge pop it in your new system take your digital library redownload it on switch to and just get instantly enhanced games and they want to emphasize this as a major selling point for the new system that is something that i do agree with in many regards and think nintendo could actually do as a major selling point for the system look we obviously have had enhanced games on you know xbox and playstation but not to a massive degree and not just something where the user doesn't have to think about it or make extra purchases it would be really cool if like it's just hey play your older games on this system and just get a better experience and that would be a major selling point because that is not how it was marketed on playstation 5 and xbox series and i do think that that is a marketing point that a lot of people will look forward to and consumers will understand as consumers do understand when you get the new phones you're getting a bigger faster brighter better phone that's what you're kind of saying here hey you get this new switch you're getting a bigger faster brighter gaming experience i do think that that is a really great marketing tool so i don't know now we got to get into this last thing which is based on the hiring post and some patents now these patents uh actually just all of this in general i originally discovered here over on the uh nintendo universal page this is all translated because he discovered a hiring post but first we got to go over to the nash weedle uh stuff from earlier so this is an earlier patent that nash weedle put up uh from nintendo and it says the highlights and assign an icon that you want to represent the content check the system indicate that uh what's been complete off blah blah for those who don't know this is about uh selecting and ordering streaming audio visual content so this would be like a nintendo way uh a nintendo application to enjoy nintendo movies and shows on a game console that's specifically uh what this is about so you're seeing just a couple things here um kind of showing you organization methods and the coding behind it and and all of that and that's fascinating but actually it being a patent doesn't mean much until we realize that nintendo put up this recent job posting for a contract software engineer and again full credit to necrophilipe for this discovery uh and if you go down your description of duties it says design and develop software to support multi-media use cases then develop new features capable of being successfully deployed in a massively used gaming console then communicate and collaborate effectively with other engineers and drive software development yada yada yada and then you can just see all the requirements for the summary requirements you can apply for the position to pay 60 to 85 an hour based on your experiences but what you can see is that they are actually looking to deal with this like look at what it says your responsibilities are um your responsibilities include system software development performance optimizations architectural improvements bug fixes and other enhancements for nintendo gaming systems and again it's all about multimedia use cases this kind of supports that patent we saw where nintendo might be looking to create their own streaming i want to say a service uh but their own i don't know it's almost like a netflix for nintendo a nintendo flicks it could end up being a streaming service it could also just be part of nintendo switch online but a way for us to watch things like the mario movie or the pokemon animated series and movies uh detective pikachu the upcoming zelda movie maybe nintendo is trying to make this multimedia empire maybe we can watch the old zelda cartoons and the old captain eng stuff like maybe nintendo is going to gather this all together and just offer a streaming service for an exclusive to nintendo platforms i do think that again is just another selling point so you can kind of see what nintendo is doing here and where there is a game plan starting to form and this is although this is true over what nintendo switch 2 is going to be how they're going to market it and how they're going to get consumers excited especially if it's an iterative system oh man it looks like a switch but it's called the switch 2 why do we need the switch 2 and i already have this you can see the marketing plan starting to take shape the things and abilities and capabilities this system might have that the other doesn't especially when it comes to just making your games run better look better be better and handheld and on your tv anyways guys i end with nintendo robot jets from nintendo prime thank you so much for tuning in hopefully this gave you all the information you could ever want to switch to for today if more stuff crops up you know we'll be right on top of it here at nintendo prime catch you guys in the next video
