Right everyone, are you guys ready for another Nintendo Prime? Of course, this isn't your normal Nintendo Prime live. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Tonight we celebrate for the last time an epic achievement that only 321,000 other people have achieved. But technically the number looks a lot better. 321,000 other channels have hit 100,000 subscribers. He's not unique, but that's 321,000 channels hitting 100,000 subscribers out of 53 million. Do the math on that. It is extremely hard to be one of the one and he is in the upper percent of YouTube content creators. Nintendo Prime has come a long way over the last six years, from being exiled from Zelda and former to not knowing what the hell he's doing on YouTube and Nintendo telling them, hey, you can't use our trailers or gameplay. You're stuck with still images and really bad green screens with a webcam from the 1990s and a microphone that at this point, let's just say a laptop mic from 2005 was probably better. Then he progressed and he progressed and he progressed. He went to E3 in 2018. He went to E3 in 2019. In 2018, he went off of the back of the charity of the very few subscribers he had that sent him to his E3 journey. In 2018, he bought his own ticket. 2019, bought his own ticket, went back to PAX East this year, bought his own ticket and why could he buy his own ticket? Because you guys are an incredible community that has supported Nintendo Prime from day one. Day one. It has been an incredible six year journey. Last year was a little rough. Nintendo Prime got stuck last year. He was at 77,000 subscribers the entire year. Why? Because the last tick on Nintendo Prime's journey before he got here today, he got hacked in October of 2021. At that time, Nintendo Prime was having his biggest year ever. He was growing, well, compared to today, growing pretty slow, but compared to the way his channel was going at the time, he had his best year of growth ever. He had gained over 18,000 new subscribers in 2021. He had received millions of views. He was starting to creep up to around 10,000 views every video and then boom, Elon Musk and the rest took over his channel. Shiba Inu will live down in infamy. Cryptocurrency scams galore. It was a rough time. It took almost three weeks to get the channel back. Then Nintendo Prime went to the grindstone. All of 2022, he was releasing videos every day. It wasn't his job. He couldn't pay his bills with it. Doesn't matter. He made the time, he made the effort and he kept pushing, and pushing, and pushing despite getting almost no results, losing subscribers every single month in the hundreds. Just losing them. Thought about quitting YouTube at three separate times last year. Probably should have. Might have been the best decision for his mental health. But he kept to the grindstone anyways. Then November happened, then December, then January, February, March, on into April and now into May in the last five months alone. This channel has grown by over 50,000 subscribers. 50,000 subscribers. Let that sink in. He went from barely cracking 3,000 views of video last year after getting to 10,000 the year before. And now 50,000 views in a single video is a drop in a bucket. The drop in a bucket. He drops a video on tears of the kingdom and he knows that's 30,000 people bare minimum. Maybe more. He drops a thing on Nintendo Switch 2 or on some other obscure Mario news. He knows he's getting 10,000, 20,000 views. And why? Because you guys keep tuning in. So, for those who don't know, this is the announcer at the beginning of the Nintendo Prime live streams. I introduced the host.  However, today's a little different. Today's a little different in a number of regards. For starters, here's what's happening tonight. Let me introduce what's going on. Yes, folks, we're doing giveaways. I don't even know how many giveaways. We have some physical prizes. We have some digital prizes. I have no idea where the hell Nintendo Prime's gonna stop because he doesn't know how to stop giving things away. Literally, when it comes to giveaways, the answer for him is just yes. It's just yes. Oh, are you done with giveaways? That's why we're the only time you'll get a no. Will there be more giveaways? Yes. Will the giveaways get bigger? Yes. Will we keep doing it on and on the rest of the year? Yes. Later this year, from June 8th to June 11th, we're gonna be having what's known as Prime Gaming Fest. There is going to be already committed over $6,000 worth of giveaways over four days. Don't know what that event is. Stay tuned. More details to come in the coming weeks as we get those streams set up. We get our special guests locked in. We get our tournament set. We get our competition set.  You're in for a treat. It's going to be magical, a four day event next month. And yeah, it's about giving back to the community. It's about using every connection Nintendo Prime has, every cent in his bank account to make people smile and feel wanted and feel vanged. Because without each and every one of you, there is no Nintendo Prime. There's just another failed YouTuber off working jobs like the rest of us, like me, that we don't really like just trying to do what we can. So tonight we're gonna be doing giveaways. Tonight we're also gonna be unboxing the 100,000 subscriber plaque from YouTube. No, Nate has not seen it.  He's seen other YouTubers with one. He never thought he'd have one. This is the first of four different plaques YouTube has. He will never see another plaque unless he gets to a million subscribers. And if he pulls that off, who knows where Nintendo Prime goes next.   It's gonna be a night where Nintendo Prime probably won't run out of people to thank for the success he has. But more importantly, tonight is about you. You, the community, made this happen. Watching the videos, liking the videos, leaving your comments, subscribing, and more. Everything you guys have done for Nintendo Prime, him and his family are eternally grateful. For those who don't know, here's a little background before Nate enters the room. Nintendo Prime is 36 years old, turns 37 later this year. That's right, he's pretty much as old as the legend of Zelda franchise. He has three children. Okay, so he's raising three children with the help of his lovely fiance. His children are ages seven, nine, and 12. Right now, his entire family is solely supported by what Nate does on YouTube. Not necessarily by choice. Some stuff happened, but he's able to not worry because of what you guys have done for him. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping Nintendo Prime. Thank you for allowing him to not worry. And thank you for being you. Now, without further ado, we gotta get this show started, don't we? So, let's put your favorite emojis in that chat. That's right, I wanna see those emojis popping off.  Drop your favorite emojis in the chat and welcome in your host, Nintendo Prime. Streaming this, how do you even start a stream? I'm not even sure how you do it. Like, how do you start a stream like this, guys? Um, I see a lot of people on our mobile app over there, spamming the hearts, spamming the emojis over there. Obviously the chat going nuts. How do you describe what's happening right now? Guys, yeah, we're celebrating 100,000 tonight. Did you know we actually hit 120,000 subscribers today? 120,000, oh my gosh. Let's get the background music going. We got a lot to pop up. We got a lot to give away. We're gonna get the giveaway probably started right here in a few seconds. I gotta, I gotta, you figured I'd already have this set up. I actually just have to load one of the bots that I use for giveaways. I just don't have them open right now. Let me open them up here on my end. All right, let me get the giveaway section open here. There it is. All right. So all the giveaways are gonna be happening right in the chat today. If you guys are here to find out who won the giveaway for the Switch OLED, the special edition, Tears of the Kingdom, and the pin from PAX East, that's drawn on May 12th, okay? And the winners will be emailed and we'll announce the winners during our May 12th live stream, because we'll be streaming Tears of the Kingdom that day. But tonight we have all new things to give away. All new things to give away. I'm really excited. And we're gonna, let me get, sorry. I'm still nervous. I shouldn't be this nervous. We have a bunch of new members. We need to shout out. Let's get this Super Chat up here. We've got Brian C with the $5 name. Congrats, man. Swallow! Glad to see all those. Thanks so much. By the way, I am doing shots for Super Chat tonight. For my sanity, I'm not starting shots for anything lower than $10.  We got some Strawberry Lemonade vodka. And then obviously, we all know what happens at $100 Super Chats. We pop off the celebration cannons. That's right, we got some celebration cannons. We pop off real ones. And we do a shot at Tequila, but we're not gonna worry about that. Right now I gotta welcome all these new members because holy crud. We have Cary Johnson. Thank you so much. Jen Thomas as well. Christopher Mitzel. D3 Monarchs. Macaca. And Creole Sons. I don't know. I'm really bad at pronouncing usernames and names. Guys, thank you so much for the support. I really do appreciate it. You guys are awesome. All Super Chats get featured on the screen like you just saw me do with Brian C. It's kinda weird that things look a little crooked when I'm actually straight on with the camera. I don't know what's going on. Well, Farrow Tribal Clef as well. Thank you so much for becoming a member. I really do appreciate you being a member as little as $3. There's no pressure to ever become members though. You can use your member chat though and get featured. No $5 Tequila. Congrats on 100K slow mode piece. Slow mode is on. Slow mode's already on. It's already on. One of the mods already turned it on. It's already on. Oh man, let's just do a giveaway. Right, let's just do a giveaway right now. Let's do a giveaway right now. Let's just do it. Pat Goon, thank you so much. All right. I gotta type this out in the chat quick. Hold on, we have all these new members coming in. I did not expect so many new members. Jotaku, 10 days away from Jersey Kingdom Boys, let's go. We're actually almost nine days at this point, but yeah, hey, hey, hey. We had another new member. Hold on. My gosh, I lost track. Alex, okay, the chat is going so fast. It's raining 72. Muga Evo said, congrats on the growth. Well on your way to 133K. That is our next goal, because Nintendo is 133 years old this year, so I thought it would be really cool. I just want to show my appreciation of all the content you provide.  I'm just going to let you know. Before I see the $25 Super Chat, we're going to get to it in a moment. I want to enter the, I want to type this out so you guys can enter the giveaway right now. I'll get to this stuff here.  I don't even, I can't even type out the giveaway. I probably should have had a moderator set up these giveaways for me. I've never, this is well beyond, how many people are watching right now? How many people do we have watching right now? I don't even know. Or seven, seven, 79, we're almost at 800. I, oh, nope, no water works yet, Nate. All right, enter to win the $20 out, you should be able to type the following in the chat once. All right, guys, I don't even know if I'm going to be able to, if I can even pin my comment before it goes away. Did I get it? There it is. So just, to win a $20 eShop gift card, enter to win, a chance to win a $20 eShop gift card. Type the following in the chat once, 100K. You got to type it exactly as I put it. That's our first giveaway tonight. We have a lot more giveaways to come, guys. A lot more giveaways to come. Oh my God, I got to somehow, I got to somehow power through this. We have a $25 Super Chat. I got to go find the Super Chat and see if I can feature it. There's so many new members. Let me get the member shout-outs quick. It's already 72. Lyra the Liar. Tidalius. Joe Taku gifted a member. I don't know who got it, but thank you so much. And then, Theater, Parenting, and a little bit of Random. Thank you guys so much for becoming members. I'm trying to shut those out first because they disappear the quickest. Elvis Rivera as well. Oh my gosh. Let me get to that $25. We got a couple of $5 as well. I got to get to these before they vanish. Where is the $25 one? Did it go away already? On my screen? Can I not scroll through it anymore? Oh no. I don't know if I can. Is it down? Is it up? It's all over the place. I can't keep up. All right, I'm just gonna read it off because I can't feature it. It's too far back. So this came from Tim Rolhack. He says, congrats on your 100K. I'm worth a $133. Dude, let's crack our first shot of the night while you guys are entering that giveaway. We had another $5 come in from Faro Trouble Clef. He said, I'm way too hyped. Have the beginning spoiled of Tears of the Kingdom. I think a lot of people have, but we're not talking about spoilers tonight. Please, everyone, do not spoil Tears of the Kingdom in the chat. Just be respectful. It's out of respect for me. It's out of respect for everyone here. Don't spoil Tears of the Kingdom in the chat, please. But I've kept away from the leaks. That's good, that's good, that's good. We had another $5 in quickly from Highly and Hero 7 saying, congrats Nate. Sorry, the chat's moving crazy. Everyone's trying to enter this giveaway. You know, we got 400, plus people already entered. So I got to explain how this works, how these giveaways work tonight, because they're all gonna work kinda like this one. It's a random roll. It's being done by Nightbot. You do need to be subscribed to win, okay? A big thing is, some of you might be subscribed, but it needs, you need to hide, you need to unhide your subscriptions so I can tell that you're subscribed. So we're gonna draw someone. Do not listen to what Nightbot says in the chat. Nightbot might announce something. I might have fixed that bug, I don't know. Don't ignore Nightbot. What's gonna happen is, I'm gonna type in the chat. I'm gonna say congratulations to at so and so, okay? What that person needs to do is at Nintendo Prime back to confirm you're here, because you gotta be here live to win. And then you need to screenshot me adding your username, because it'll highlight your, it'll highlight my chat to you. It'll highlight it. That's how I know it's actually you. Then you need to email that screenshot to giveaway at nintendoprime.net. Our moderators will have your back on that. They'll put it in the chat, what you gotta do. We gotta command for it. Our moderators will take care of that. And then, in the subject line, I don't know if I put this in there, but in the subject line, you wanna put what you want. Okay? So if it's a $20 each, I'm gonna put that in the subject line. If you don't put anything in the subject line and what you win, you're basically gonna forfeit your prize and I'm gonna re-give it away later. Cause I'm not gonna go through the hassle of back and forth emails, try to figure out what each person won. People trying to claim prizes that didn't actually win, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay? That's how we're handling it around here. So there's Highly and Heroes from earlier. Let's try to get, we have a $10 one come in as well. From Michael Hell, I'm so excited for tears of the kingdom, can't wait. I've beaten Breath of the Wild three times. Squirtle! Hell yeah, man. Let's see here, lots of the 100K things. We have another $5 one in from Wrath. Saying, congrats on all the success, Nate. I can't wait to be experienced, but could possibly be the best all the game of all time, I enjoyed the shot. Yeah, we're only doing shots for $10 enough tonight to keep my sanity. I'm afraid of how many $5 super chats we might get, so we upped it to 10. Sorry, we usually do shots for all $5 super chats, but I don't wanna die tonight. So right now I owe two shots. Thank you guys so much. I thought that was gonna taste good. Why did I think Strawberry Lemonade Vodka was gonna taste good? It doesn't taste good. I might as well just be doing Pure Vodka. Pure Vodka tastes better than this. Oh boy. Don't wanna be of other bottles of booze as well, but those ones are being saved because they're like 40% alcohol. That does not taste good. All right, let's draw a winner for this, shall we? I think people have entered enough. So I'm gonna unpin my comment, we're gonna draw a winner. Remember, it only matters what I say in the chat. Not any bot, so let's roll it. Come on. All right, we got a winner. If Nightbot said stuff, don't worry about it. I like to rapidly click on it a few times. So congrats to At, make sure they're here, yep, they're here. At least they're present, but it doesn't mean that they're paying attention. Oh, dang it. Congrats to, all right. Congrats to Roy Dallas. Roy Dallas. Be sure to at me back in the chat. I am watching the chat. You need to at me back in the chat, Roy. At me back in the chat, Roy. I'm waiting for the at Roy Dallas. Nope, not Noob. That's not the one, Roy Dallas. There it is, Roy Dallas.  You got to scroll up quick. You got to scroll up quick. Get that screenshot in. Get that screenshot in. Email giveaway at nintendoprime.net. You're welcome for the $20 eShop gift card. I will get that gift card if not to you tonight because maybe tonight's stream goes too wild. I'll get it to you tomorrow. But you'll have it within 24 hours. Oh man, guys. What is happening tonight, guys? We're over 800 people watching. I don't even, like slow modes on right now and that's not even slowing things down. Like we have a sticker I didn't shout out. Tina Caldwell for the $5 sticker. Thank you so much for the $5 sticker. I think I missed that one. Thank you. I have another shot owed here to Don't Die. Says Hylian Hero.  I'm just really emotional right now. Let me get this shot in. I'll grab a different shot for yours. You know what this is, right? You guys know what this is, right? It's still sealed, still taped. I have not looked at it. Oh, we got, we gotta give away in here. We gotta give away in here. We got a $500 item in here. What can this be that we're giving away tonight? A $500 item. We got a mystery box giveaway here. Mystery box and more, oh, baby. We got a lot. All right, compose your self name. All right. I know you didn't even talk to myself. Compose myself. All right, shot. We're gonna crack a beer. We're gonna do a beer shot. Slow it down a little bit. The tears of the kingdom plaque. Here you go. It's pretty cool, I hate it. It's a pretty cool plaque. All right. So guys, we hit 100,000 subscribers back on April 11th, okay? April 11th, we hit 100,000 subscribers. It's been less than three weeks and we're already at 120,000. Words can't express how thankful I am to all of you. Before I started thinking the chat like crazy, playing Breath of the Wild right now, I'm so excited to be here crossing my fingers. It's for one of those switches. In theory, I reject this money. It is only in practice that I accept it. I have a couple shots. We'll do a couple of beer shots in here. Guys, I need to thank some people first off that I don't know if they're here. Just people that helped me along the way behind the scenes. First, Eric Maher. I don't know if you guys know who Eric is. He's co-hosted the Nintendo Prime podcast. He's been with me from the beginning. The podcast was the very first thing we ever put together for Nintendo Prime and it's still going strong to this day. Last episode had 7.4,000 views. J-Lo. J-Lo! In theory, I reject this money. It is only in practice that I accept it. You know I gotta do a big shot for that J-Lo. Already, so we're getting the 33K by the 12th. Oh, J-Lo. You might be right. It's only 13,000 away. It doesn't even seem impossible. All right, we're gonna do some Canadian mist for you, buddy. Some blended Canadian dry whiskey.  I can handle a lot of liquor. Don't believe me asking any of our moderators. That's number one. Be of age.  Two, I just have to say, I gotta finish this. Thank you, Eric. Eric has helped a lot behind the scenes. He's borrowed money on some of our business trips. He's held a lot of cameras for me. He's helped me set up a lot of my sets. He's helped me troubleshoot some tech problems I've had. So big shout out to Eric. He literally works for free for me. I mean, granted, he gets a free trip every year out of me, so I guess that's his payment. But big shout out to Eric. He's been one of my number one supporters of my channel, even in the dark days. Another big shout out, obviously, to my fiance. There's been a lot of sacrifices made over the last six years for me to chase this dream. We never put ourselves in the best financial position over the last six years to do this. It wasn't like we didn't have a house and didn't have food and didn't provide for our kids. Of course we did, but no savings. Nothing in retirement as I was sitting here working on all jobs and doing YouTube and chasing this dream. And now we're setting money aside and things are going great and I don't, we're here. It's been six years and it kinda feels like we made it. Like this is significant in my life. But a big shout out to her for being the number one support in my life. She won't let me quit YouTube even if I tried because she knows how much I love it and she knows that this is my dream and she firmly believes in teaching our children that through perseverance, hard work, and never giving up you can achieve anything. Whether they wanna be a doctor or a marine biologist or they wanna be YouTubers, whatever direction my children wanna go with their lives. Yulia truly believes that setting that example is important and not giving up when the times get tough and it's easier to go in a different direction and working together to make the sacrifices needed to get here. She has been my rock and Nintendo Prime wouldn't exist without her. So thank you for that. There's a lot of other people I could think along the way. You know, Mike Odyssey last year really talked me out of quitting one time in particular. He really got me off the edge of quitting YouTube. I was this close to pressing. I literally had the, are you sure you want to delete this channel box up on my screen? That's how close I was. I was one click away from deleting everything. And Mike Odyssey talked me out of doing it. So thank you. Mike Odyssey has also given me some advice behind the scenes to help me figure out my thumbnail and title strategy and all that. And encouraging me to break through some of my own hiccups in my mind. And that was a big reason why we started bouncing back because I started changing up my thumbnails and my titles. So thank you so much for that, Mike. I will forever be grateful for you no matter what happens moving forward. You know, thank you to Andres Restart. You know, jumping on and sort of becoming a co-host on the podcast. Mike as well over the last year being a co-host on the podcast, I do appreciate that. Thank you to Paul Gale Network. Paul Gale Network has given me a ton of support behind the scenes.  We couldn't afford it in our budget. It was one of Julia's pipe dreams and he sent me the money to do it and gave me ample time to pay it back to him. So thank you so much, Paul Gale, for enabling a once in a lifetime memory. I'll never forget that. Thank you just to every guest we've ever had in our podcast. I can't, there's so many, I can't even name them all. Like it's impossible. Like we've got Kit and Krysta on our podcast. We've had someone from Kind of Funny Games, Tim, Tim from Kind of Funny Games we've had on our podcast. Those are some of the bigger games we've had, Bob Wolf on our podcast back in the day. You know, Player Essence has been on. He was on just recently on Intent Talk this week. I mean, the list is never-ending of the people we've had on our podcast. So thank you for all of your guys' support and encouragement I've gotten on social media. Thank you to just thank you even to my MCN. I'm part of an MCN Screenwave Media because they helped me sort out everything with my channel when I wasn't even part, after we got hacked, I wasn't even part of Screenwave and they helped me get my channel back. So thank you so much to Screenwave for stepping up for me because I was really on no man's land. I was really out on an island without a life jacket. You know, I was stuck. Wasn't, you know, no sunscreen. It was probably gonna die there. The channel was probably gonna be done. In Screenwave Media, I wasn't even part of them and they helped me get my channel back. So that was incredible. Just thank you in general to every person I've ever had a private conversation with in regards to YouTube. Chances are you've helped me along the way. Thank you to our moderators. Huge shout out to our moderators who enabled me to sit here in live stream without worry.  J.Lo, Charles Trudeau, Corey, Boom, Joy C.J., Sonic Man the Best, Paul Gale, and so many others.  Natsu, yep, you guys enabled me to live stream without worry. Fire Soul as well here on YouTube. Like you guys enabled me to live stream without worry and keep me grounded behind the scenes if I'm overstepping and I appreciate that you feel you can come to me earnestly and honestly and tell me when I'm messing up. And I appreciate that. Fire Soul, especially because Fire Soul ran one of our, I think our Smash Bros. tournament or so. I can't remember. One of our tournaments he ran last year at Prime Gaming Fest, so. You know, shout out to anyone who's ever super chatted. Shout out to our 200s, the only 30 plus members. All you super chatters and members, man.  So big thank you, nobody, to make this clear, nobody ever needs to do anything financially to support what I do. You do not need to super chat. You do not need to join our Patreon at Patreon.com slash Nintendo Prime. You do not need to be a member, but so many of you choose to do it anyways. And I'm just, if I'm blown away. Dokka Ping Kingdom Connect is out on the night, congrats. Yeah, yeah, I heard about that. That was supposed to be a news thing in a video today. I didn't get to it. Thanks, Rick. Bama Hut.  Bama Hut is like, he's insane. I don't know what he does for a living because I feel like he gives like $1,000 to the channel and gifted memberships every single month.  But thank you, man. Bama Hut's like an MVP every month on this channel. If you guys stick around long enough in our live streams, you'll eventually see who Bama Hut is. Brian C, he's another one of our moderators and members. Thank you so much for the sticker. I know I'm behind, I gotta do the shot than yours. But yeah, you guys are incredible. So thank you, thank you, thank you. What we need to do at the moment is first I gotta get these shots down. I'll take a couple of questions from the chat. And then what do you guys wanna do next? I don't know when I'm opening the play button. Don't forget to give yourself credit. So I'm someone that I don't like to take credit. I understand that I put in a lot of hard work. None of this happens if I don't exist and I don't put in the work. But I don't wanna toot my own horn. We're already sort of doing that by celebrating, right? The biggest thing to me is you guys are the MVP.  You guys, not me, you. You're the ones just by existing and watching my content enable me to support my family. Enable me to live my dream. You, not me. You, so thank you. Let's, awesome Aubrey. You might be able to watch a Mario movie on digital on May 9th. They delayed the digital release. They delayed it because it's kicking butt so much in theaters. Let's get this shot done. This is a strong one. Cracking new water bottles here. All right. I think a few questions from the chat just at Nintendo Prime and the chat and then we'll decide what we're gonna do next. Are we gonna do another giveaway next? Are we gonna do the play button? You know, let's put up a poll. I got a feeling what's gonna win the poll. As I think of a few questions. I've been holding it together. I haven't cried yet. I haven't cried yet. I came close. I came really close, but I haven't cried yet. I've been holding it together. So there, I mean, there is no celebration like this again until we're at like a meal, right? Like, cause we're never gonna get another play button until then. So let me get this poll question up. All right. Let me get some of the stuff here in the chat. We don't need to send money, but I'm going to anyways. Oh, thanks, man. Yeah, you didn't have to do that, my dude, but I appreciate it. Kansas City ChiefsFan, huh? Chiefs are living good right now. Chiefs fans are, and players, are living their best life right now in the NFL. All right. Let me randomly go up a question. There's too many for me to get to all of them. Will my dog make a cameo today? No, I don't think so. When are you sending up the Prime Gaming Fest giveaway prizes this week? This week? They go this week. In fact, tomorrow is our first day that we're shipping like half the prizes tomorrow. Your first 100 subscribers, or 1,000 subscribers, did you think your channel was going to be nothing? Because it was the Zeldin former YouTube channel at the time and we didn't care about YouTube. I don't even know why we had the channel, to be honest. We didn't really do anything.  Let's see here. What enemies do you think will be in tears of the kingdom a lot? I don't really want to get into it because we now know. So I'm going to leave that one alone. I have all the tears of the kingdom leaks. I know the first hour and a half or so of the, but I knew that already from people with review copies. So I know a few things that I didn't know because I researched for videos and I ended up coming across stuff. It's whatever. I'm not going to share anything that I know. It doesn't bother me. Sovis, thank you so much for becoming a champion. I appreciate it. We also had a $5 Switch app coming here from Coroxy Jr. Baltimore Ravens all day. Nice. I'm a packer fan so. Venatis 712! In theory, I reject this money. It is only in practice that I accept it. Oh man, dude, you deserve more, but this is all.  Venatis, you don't have to give me a dime. But thanks, dude, I appreciate it so much. No one has to give anything, man. But thanks. Like, I don't even, thank you so much. All right, I got to get a question here I can actually answer. What's your favorite Zelda game and why? It says Jude Alexander. It's Breath of the Wild and oddly enough, I used to love dungeon crawlers and that's like what Zelda has been for a long time. But it turns out I actually like exploring game worlds more and I didn't really know that until Breath of the Wild. Who knew? So the thrill of exploration made it my favorite game. Kinda crazy, huh? Riley Doman, thank you so much for your, becoming a member of the board of directors. I usually do this whole thing, but we've got so many members joining. I don't even know how to do it. By Karius with a member chat saying, I'm stoked to see your following is still scar, I don't even, we're gaining like 2,000 subscribers a day. What do I do with that knowledge?  I don't wanna like reveal too much because then you 700 people won't have a reason to watch but Kotaku, remember that video I made on Kotaku about the stupid stuff they said about Nintendo yet didn't give any of the context on why they were blacklisted?  It's bad. And you know what? I mean, we all have, we all like having, we all like making a little bit of fun of Kotaku, right? They've kind of become the punching bag of the media at this point. All right. Last tomorrow's video. What was my first Zelda game? Isabelle, Isabella, that's what's my first Zelda game. Link's Awakening on Game Boy. There's a really weird story behind that one. I was a bit of a bully on how I got introduced to Zelda. Let me see the back of the switch. So yeah, it's just a bunch of circles. Pretty consistent theme with Heroes of the Kingdom. And yes, I have the second one to give away. Some people think my giveaway is fake. I literally showed it when I unboxed the OLED. I already have it. It's sitting over there on a table. Ready to go. Yes, even more of a punching bag than IGN, Samuel. IGN's got some pretty good writers there. Just some of the management decisions aren't always the best. How many hours do I have in Breath of the Wild? Too many to even count. It's over a thousand, so. Did you see that beat them up to fake the Zelda switch OLED? Crunchy blend. Tell me you didn't watch the entire video without watching the entire video. If you watched the entire video, by the time you get like 80% into the video and then beat them ups, it's like, no, I didn't actually fake it. And you guys fell for the lie of me saying I fake it. Like he said, I drew circles on the back of a switch with a Sharpie. He didn't fake it. He didn't actually fake it. He wanted to talk about how cool, how easily it could be to fake it today. But yeah, it was a total flip flop. If you watched the entire video, he didn't actually fake getting it. Yeah. But he does, there are moments in there where he does a good job convincing you like, hey, I know, satisfied. They can print boxes. They somehow print to me this box, blah, blah, blah, blah. But yeah, he didn't fake it. And he didn't get it from Nintendo either. I can't really go into details on that, but he didn't get it from Nintendo. Nintendo did not want him having that switch. But also, he doesn't care about playing nice with Nintendo anymore. He doesn't care about playing nice with Nintendo anymore. So he's just gonna do his thing. I mean, literally on one of his alternate channels, he's uploading clips of modded Breath of the Wild gameplay. Ask Point Crow how that goes. Go ahead and talk to Point Crow about how much Nintendo likes modded Breath of the Wild gameplay. And here's beat him up on another channel just straight uploading modded Breath of the Wild gameplay. Yeah, he doesn't really care too much about what Nintendo has to say about it. Now, he won't put it on his main channel, but he doesn't care really that much about his reputation with Nintendo anymore. Who's Nintendo Prime? But they never asked how is Nintendo Prime says Brad. Wow, getting deep, Brad. Who's Nintendo Prime? Well, my name is Nathaniel Rumpeljantz. I say it in a lot of videos. I've always used my real name. I have a long history. You could type in Nathaniel Rumpeljantz on Google to find a long history of me doing various Zelda site things and popping up at other places. I even found my LinkedIn profile, I don't know. But yeah, I've been at this a long time. I've been doing fan sites since I was 12. I became a journalist in my 20s. Now I'm a YouTuber. There's a whole long history there, but I'm a family guy. I got three kids. I got a fiance. My entire studio is built into the basement of my house. It's a pretty big studio. I have a studio tour ready to go whenever a sponsor approves of the video because it's a sponsored video. The sponsor gave me a brand new desk, this desk right here. And they wanted me to feature it in a video. And I said, hey, I'll put it in a studio tour. I don't think a lot of people are gonna watch the studio tour video to be clear. It might be my lowest watch video in months, but it's behind the scenes for those that actually care, I suppose. Not everyone cares about that. They just want the content. As for how I'm doing, been a bit of a weird day to have this grocery shopping today, which is always, you know, when you're grocery shopping for a family of five, it's never, I wouldn't say it's ever fun, but it's something you have to do. And dealing with my daughter. My daughter is a lover. She's amazing. She's also the most difficult of the kids. She's a preteen, she's 12. It's a fight every day with her to get her to do her homework. She's also at this point in middle school where like mommy and daddy might not remember certain things about how to do certain things in some classes. So like we're reteaching ourselves while trying to help her. While she's being really difficult and not willing to help us figure things out. So it's a whole process. And that's been a big struggle. So there's that. So that was pretty stressful today. But then this arrived. I walked outside to check the mail and here was this. That brought a little smile to my face. Well, we'll see if we're opening that in a moment. Right now it's pretty close. We're at 51% to 49% in the poll right now. It's very tight on what we're doing next. So we're doing a giveaway or we're doing the play button unboxing. It's very close. We have a couple of super chats to come in. Let's see here. First up from Fira. What do you think about Twilight Princess? That was my favorite to be honest. Also thank you for never giving up. You got this. Thanks. Yeah, I mean, it would have been really easy to give up. This journey.  It's been hard. And I apologize. I can't get to every question tonight guys. There's so many of you here. I'm flabbergasted. There are more people watching this in Prime Gaming Fest last year. We only had 500 people watching Prime Gaming Fest last year. Almost every single person walked away with a prize. To put in perspective, how many things we give away during Prime Gaming Fest? Almost every person out of 500 walked away with a prize. Anyways. And I know giveaways in the title and we are doing giveaways. So that, look. Let's just be honest. A lot of you are here for giveaways only, right? I'm not done. Let's end the poll. Looks like we're gonna do the play button next which means I'm gonna get really emotional in a hurry here. I already know it because I got emotional when I saw the box. I got emotional. I'm just gonna make sure Yulia's okay. She's been trying to open the play button all day. Well, I'm gonna put up a poll. Don't feel ashamed if your answer is I'm only here for giveaways, all right? That this does not make you a bad person. I'm just curious. I don't care if people are only here for giveaways. That's fine. We've already done one, we have many more to go. But it's okay. It's okay if the answer is yes. I'm just curious. I know that people wanna win stuff. This is why we do this. This is why we have Prime Gaming Fest, right? Yulia needs to be here for the, I would say considering she tried to unbox it earlier, I'll ask her if all the kids are in bed now. I'll ask her. I'll wait till she responds. I'm not gonna open the play button until Yulia responds here because I wanna make sure if she wants to be down here for the moment, I wanna make sure she's here in studio for the moment. So I'll wait for her response quick. She might not look at her phone right now cause she might be busy putting our daughter to bed.  We all wanna be a winner. You see this? This, I'm already a winner. I've already won at YouTube. I'm not satisfied, we're gonna keep going. I have bigger dreams on YouTube than what I am now, but I kind of won at life. I got a girl who loves me for who I am, three beautiful children, I got a home that's my own. I get to do what I do for a living and it's something I love to do. I look forward to when I wake up. I don't roll out of bed dreading that I need to go to work. I love it. And I'm, there's no shortage of people who care about me and that is a feeling that I'm not sure what to do with.  But are there a few hundred that do? Are there a few hundred that say I have a stroke and died tomorrow? Would notice I'm not here anymore? Yeah. That have so many complete strangers.  Now it's at 20%. It's just gonna keep climbing. People want giveaways. But good news for you as Yulia hasn't responded yet. So for those that want the giveaways, let's do a giveaway, shall we? Let's give away something I know everybody wants. All of you want this, right? So this was something we gave away during Prime Gaming Fest last year, but wasn't claimed. Shows how much people really wanted to win. Bakudan champions, Vestoria sealed in box. Let's give that away. I don't know if you guys care about the game. No one claimed it. No one claimed it. So we gotta re-give it away. I mean, look, it's a sealed copy of Bakudan champions of Vestoria. The funny thing is this giveaway, that this game has actually become rare on Switch. This is one of the rarer games on Switch because it sold so bad that nobody bought it. Seriously, nobody went to the store when this launch and said, man, I love that game. Give me that game. So it's sort of become kind of rare and actually is a little bit valuable, especially sealed, but no one's claiming it when they win. So let's give it away again and see if somebody actually wants it this time and actually claims it. So to win a sealed copy of Bakudan champions Abion's Vestoria. Type the following in the chat. Oh my gosh, I can't even type it out. The chat once. Remember, everything is case sensitive for these giveaways. I'm gonna pin this quick. I already had a $10 Super Chat come in from Crafted Insanity. Remember folks, one time only or it will eliminate you and you gotta type it case sensitive. Crafted Insanity says, are there any time Majora's Master are the only games I played without seeing it in a video? Now that I could afford a console that's getting a new Zelda, I'm finally able to pre-order one. I'm so excited. By the way, I will ship this worldwide, guys. Sometimes our physical prizes will be U.S. only. I'll ship this worldwide. I don't care. So you live anywhere. I'll try my best to get it to you. If it gets lost at customs, I mean, I can't do much if it gets caught at customs and they're like, this is too violent. We can't send. But I will at least get it to your customs and hope it gets through. Even Yuli even rolled on the top. New giveaway because nobody claimed it. It is a big box. I think it has, it's got a Bakudon, one of those figures in it that you can play with like the game thing. I don't know. I don't know a whole lot about Bakudon, so. And the game sucks, by the way. This is the deluxe edition I should have noted. That's why it's worth so much too. It's a deluxe edition. I think the last time I looked it up it was worth like 120 bucks. But the funny thing is about this is this game sucks. If you watch any review of it, it's like one of the worst games on Switch. So I'm not giving away a good game. A valuable game because nobody bought it. But yeah, anyways. So that is the current giveaway. Well, there we go. Let's sit right there. Now that I could afford a console that's getting a new Zelda, I'm finally able to pre-order one. I'm so excited. Yeah, man. For starters, congratulations on being in a position to afford a system in pre-ordering. Like, that's a big deal. Like, getting to that point that you can afford the luxury of gaming is second to none, really. I mean, I've been a gamer for a long time. The moment that I could afford to buy my own systems and buy my own games. And even then, sometimes I really couldn't afford it and I bought it anyways and had to sell it.  Ask me how many times I have bought Breath of the Wild because I bought it because I wanted to play it but I couldn't really afford it and I ended up having to sell it and then I ended up buying it again later and then with money I probably lost buying and reselling Breath of the Wild. It became a problem. Bad financial decisions. Shh. There's a reason that I buy a lot of digital games now because I can't resell the digital games. So I'm fully committed. How many times? It's been a lot. Kool-Aid's laughing. Kool-Aid knows it's been a lot. It's been a lot, man. It's been a lot. I probably bought... Hold on. I'll actually count. Plus I recently bought Yulia her own digital copy with the DLC. Including that. I have bought the game 24 times every single time at full price. I have resold the game 20 times. And every time I've resold it, it's been for the same price. 40 bucks a resell. So I lost $20. 20 times. You can do the math on that 20 times 20. So I'm not exactly a financial connoisseur over here but I've been in many financial situations where I had no money and I had to sell my games. 2019 as an example was very rough. It was a very bad year in general for me. I had a heart attack in 2019. I'm not gonna go over it. We're not gonna get into personal sob stories. It's whatever. I'm alive. I'm healthier. It's all that matters today. But the point is 2019 was very rough. I sold my entire Amiibo collection. You see these three Amiibo right here? Kirby. Majora's Mask, Link, or Ocarina of Time, Linky, either way. Skyward Sword. Zelda Loftwing. That's it. I had a lot of other Amiibo. Hundreds. I sold them in 2019. Because I couldn't afford to feed my family. I sold over, setting the side breath of the wild, I have sold over 142 physical Switch games. I sold my entire, what I had left of my retro library. I've sold, let's see. I used to have an Xbox Series X. You see how I have a Series S back there? I used to have a Series X. I sold that. This is actually my second PS5. I had a launch PS5. I sold that. I have the PS5 and Xbox Series now because I'm in a much better financial place in life now. So we're not reselling things to pay bills, but. 2019 was a bad year. I pretty much sold everything I had. I sold half of my studio equipment. 2019 was bad. All of us were having rough times. You know, during the pandemic and stuff, I had a rough year before the pandemic. Um, my kids kept all their toys. Yulia kept all her stuff. I sold almost everything I had. Everything I collected from when I was a kid to an adult, all of it went. All my Pokemon cards, everything got sold in 2019. 2019 was just a rough year. So I'm no longer in that position anymore. I'm in a much better financial state today. Obviously all the giveaways we're doing, all the fancy equipment I had, the Rokcaster Pro 2, you guys can't see it. It's off camera here. This microphone I'm using, which is an Electrovois RE20.  Like, dude, I'm in a much better financial spot. My Mr. Richie Rich, it sounds Richie Rich when I read off some of the equipment we're using, but all of this was saved up for over a long period of time. But the point is we're in a much better financial spot. So I'm not at the point that I need to sell things to pay bills anymore. That being said, that wasn't always the case. So you'll live and you'll learn. And I've been in the poor house. I've been paycheck to paycheck most of my life. I've been under the position of not knowing where I'm gonna eat next. Oh, my kids were taking care of it. When am I gonna eat? When I was younger, I slept on park benches because I was homeless. So like, I've ran the whole gambit in life. So to be where we are right now and to be where this channel is right now is magical, man. Here's another five for you. I love your kind of, thanks so much, Crafters Insanity. So like, we're in an incredible place right now and it's all thanks to you guys. Let's roll, shall we? 376, want this? Probably always roll a few times. All right, there we go. Congrats to at Carson Van Baron. Carson Van Baron, at me back in the chat, buddy. Carson Van Baron, at me back in the chat. Carson Van Baron. Carson Van Baron. I'm waiting for the at back of the chat, Carson. Carson Van Baron. Carson Van Baron. You gotta quote my goddess, he thinks sightless. Carson Van Baron. Uh-oh. Carson Van Baron going once. Carson Van Baron going twice. And on to the next one. All right, new winner. New winner. Let me grab that 10. It's so hard, no one shows up to win this. Congrats, Lily Temple. Lily Temple. Are you here, Lily Temple? Lily Temple. Are you here, Lily? Lily Temple. Come on, Lily Temple. Can't give it away. Nobody wants it. Hey, Lily Temple, go screenshot it. Email it, do what the winner stuff says that J.Lo keeps mammin'. Stream Elements is puttin' out there. We finally have someone at least claimin' in the chat. They gotta email me, so don't get too excited. I can't get too excited yet. I need to get the actual email and then the shipping details, or it won't matter. We had $10 super jack-o-man from Tiles and keep being yourself, and glad things are lookin' up for you. Thanks, yeah, yeah, things are goin' great now. It's just rough time. Double check with Yulia, cause she didn't text me back. I'm gonna give her a call quick to see if she answered the phone. Here. Yulia would love to be down here.  So for those that don't know, I've been sick for like the last two months. I'm finally turnin' the corner and gettin' better. Now Yulia has it. Now she's in the worst of it. Like the puke-y, yucky. So she's goin' to bed. That's okay, she's goin' to bed. So yeah, I wasn't fully muted. Things happen. All right, she'll be good, she'll be good. It's a weird thing, cause like the middle of the day, you'll feel good and have lots of energy and then all of a sudden it goes away in like an hour. It's dumb. I would know. I've been doing YouTube this whole time. All this explosive growth over the last two months, I've been sick. And yeah, I've been streamin', I've been doin' it, cause like we'll get these explosive moments of energy and then it just dies. Anyways, let's crack the seals on this tape. Crack the seals on the tape. Uh-oh.   Okay, so she came down here anyways. Cause she wanted to see it. But no, she will not be comin' on camera. All right, stop it. I'm already, I suppose I should look at it first time, guys. It's a black foam on front, so I haven't seen it yet. There's a letter. I still haven't seen it, and there's a business card. The business card says, congratulations on your subscriber milestone. We are honored to take part in recognizing your achievement and want your experience to be exceptional. This award was inspected and packed with great care by Rick. Thank you so much, Rick. So, hopefully there's no spelling mistakes.  This says Zelda Informer on it? I might smash it live, if it says Zelda Informer on it, because that used to be the first name of the channel. If your award is damaged or insipid and have questions, then they give me a way to contact them. Okay, hey, look at this. I can contact them directly, but I can't contact YouTube directly. That's kind of ironic. All right. Now, is there a nice little letter in here? Signed by the new head of YouTube. So, I haven't seen the plaque yet. It says, do you remember your first subscriber? I was my own first subscriber, so yes I do. Do you remember your 100th? Yes, actually. A thousandth. Chances are you do. And we know you'll definitely remember your 100,000th subscriber. I do know who it was, actually. Your fans may have found you while searching YouTube. Learned about you through a friend or maybe showed up as a recommended video. No matter how they came to your channel, your audience stayed and their numbers increased because you and the community you've built. Remember, this is a letter from YouTube. We're proud to honor your impressive milestone of reaching 100,000 subscribers with the Silver Creator Award. Congratulations. We know that you have many more stories to share with your community and we know your fans can't wait for you to amaze them even more with your commitment and creativity. So keep creating, keep building. We can't wait to see what you'll do next and we're here to support you along the way. And who knows, when you reach your millionth subscriber, we just may write you and ask, do you truly remember who your 100,000 subscriber was or are you just saying it? You're sincerely Neil Mohan, the current new head of YouTube. Okay, I'm like afraid to remove the paper. He was like, remove it! I bet he didn't like that. He only had to fire one of those. The real reason she came down here. This was an attitude of 10 up around for passing 100,000 subscribers. And then it was a little thing in there about how to order extra ones. If I want to give like Eric one or something. First off, thank you guys. You guys made this happen. You know, I don't have a lot of plaques and awards for anything I've achieved in life. And I just got three kids who don't always appreciate their parents welcome to children. Oh, I got a, you know, a win in life with my fiancee, but you know, you don't get a plaque for that. I thought I did not need a plaque on you. But honey, I only gained like 500 subscribers last year. 1000 subscribers in four months. I don't even know where this is going guys. I don't know where this is going. I have no idea. It does come with hooks on the back to hang it.  I have no idea. There's no room on this set. Maybe don't go on my wall over there but then silver with silver brick. Didn't think that through when I built the set, did I? Also didn't think I was gonna hit on those subscribers. I wasn't worried about it. So I don't know where this is going. Yes, they spelled the name right. That's where if I were to send seldom forward, I would have been crying for a different reason. Yeah, well, you know, what I want to say is I made it guys.  Six years. All right. All right. All right. I don't even know where to set it. I don't have room here. Shield, sorry. You've been replaced, shield. I don't know, honey. It's not glass, it's metal, so. And I feel like I need to frame this. Hopefully not the last letter I get from YouTube congratulating me, but proof that I was actually reading a real letter from YouTube. You know, I don't think it's a, obviously I said, well actually, you know what? The head of YouTube actually signed it himself. That is pen that is not printed on. That's really cool. That they take the time to actually sign it themselves. So we've had obviously a lot of super chats right now. I don't even know how to, I don't even know how to read them all. There's so many. Let's see here. We had title list for $10 saying, keep being yourself, glad things are looking up for you. Brent Jones, $2, you deserve it. Jotaku, $2, you deserve it. Michael Koo, $5, congrats, enjoy the moment. Matthew Katz with the member chat. Congratulations.  And her prime just kicks you in the cone. Definitely had to chat like that today. Corey Boehm with $5 Canadian hit BRB and step off camera to be with their woman for a minute. No, I'm okay. My dude, $5 congrats, you sure are a true legend. Andrew P, $9.99, don't let the tears stain it. The music is making 10X more emotional. K-Dog, congratulations Nate. I will look great under the neon and little prime side on the wall. You made it. A hero of times as you deserve this. Thanks for making the wait for Zelda so fun. Charles Rudell, my usual tip, man, I'm happy for you. Thanks so much guys, it's time for tequila. Yup, combining all the super chats together, we're doing a tequila. Yulia's like, I didn't see no hundo in there, I don't care, we're doing tequila. Celebration. I know, honey, I was just yanking your chain, relax.  I know it's just a plaque guys, but it's just a symbol, right? Like it's a symbol, a physical tangible symbol, like you can go in the back end and look at numbers all day. You know, we hit 120,000 subscribers today, which is just out of this world. But like, it's one thing when there's a physical manifestation of what you're doing online, a physical realization of your accomplishment rather than just a bunch of digital numbers on a screen. And that to me is what's so special about the Playbutton. YouTube doesn't need to do Playbuttons, but I appreciate they still do them, because it really does matter, to me anyways. I don't know, maybe there's other people who got it that didn't think it was a big deal, but I don't know, man, I may never get another one of these again. This might be the only one I ever get in my entire life. And I know that, but man, we had another $10 to see here. $10 sticker from Justin Basil, dropping the shades. Yeah, I think my sunglasses are upstairs, that's why I didn't wear them today. You should put the plaque in future plaques. Yeah, I love how people presume they'll be future plaques. Where those triangle lights are, so it's always in frame. Oh, you mean like, right there? I don't know if it'll fit right there, maybe. Let's find out together, shall we? After I do this tequila, cause I don't wanna spill it. This plaque is huge, doesn't really fit there. This thing is massive, cause like I think the, if I put it on the brick wall, it might not stand out. You know, there was some damage in shipping, by the way. Couple of nicks on the back felt, it's okay. There's no damage to the front. I don't know, this is the middle of the TV. For now, it's just gonna sit there. For now, it's just gonna sit there, cause I don't know where else to put it. And that's in frame, so. Bottom left, down there. Yeah, I suppose that would be kind of an, yeah, that would be in frame if I put it down there. I mean, why your plaque is so close to the ground.  And my dog will lick it, put his imprint on it. Okay, you waiting for me to get emotional again or something? She's like standing there. Okay, let me give you a hug. She's going to bed. I'm like, should I move and put it more in frame? Azuka Ryo Nusuke, I don't know, I probably butchered it.  I've been subscribed to you for a long time, but I'm still so glad I was able to find your channel. Oh, you haven't been subscribed for a long time. You deserve this and everything. Good coming your way, congrats. Thanks, man. I get off the ceiling to the down, just floating in midair. What did you give away besides parking down? We did a $20 U shop gift card earlier. Should we give away the mystery box? I don't even know what's in here. Should I even open it? I'm going to open it. I want to see, I want to know what's in here. I can't help it. I literally don't know what's in here. I don't know if anyone's even going to care about what's in here. We had a five dollar super check come in. Nate, before you hang the plaque, I would take it flat through a celebration dinner with your family. I mean, it would be kind of funny to flash it to my parents, but Chris Lancer as well for five bucks. Thank you guys so much. Oh, this is actually kind of cool. This is a fixture gaming S1. So what is fixture gaming? Okay, this is an accessory for a version one or version two switch. It does not work with Switch OLED. I apologize. It is to do, basically, you take your controller. It's made for a Switch Pro controller. So I don't even know if it'll work with this one, but it's made for Switch Pro controller. You put your controller in like, yeah, it's definitely not made for this controller. Anyways, you would snap your controller in and then you take your switch, you would put your switch in the top here, and then you get all these angles to move your switch and game with the controller. So a Switch OLED will not work in this. This only works with a version one or a version two switch. And it's intended again for the base Pro controller. That's the only controller it'll guarantee work with. Like this controller doesn't fit in it, but it works with the original Nintendo Switch Pro controller. And it comes with a case.    I have a prototype of the S2. The S2 is the one that works with the OLED, but this is an S1. Fixture Gaming, literally a one man company. So let's give away the Fixture S1. Again, it won't work with Switch OLEDs, but it will work with version one and version two switches. So let's get this set up. Drill eye holes and wear it like a mask. Oh my gosh. Yes, they do have an OLED version now. Yes, at the time that we worked with the company and got this, they didn't have an OLED version. But they do not, but this is not the OLED version. Right, so when the Fixture S1, type the following in the chat once, fix. So yeah, there's an OLED version now. This is not the OLED version. I want to note, this is not the OLED version. We're gonna put it back in here because this will literally be the box we ship it in. We'll just slap a slippy shipping label on, take it out. And yes, this giveaway's open worldwide. This giveaway's open worldwide. Let's see here. I'm good. Dude, people are congratulating me everywhere on the plaque, man. I'm getting like congrats on Twitter right now. And they're, they're shouting me out. Dude, I've got, I've got, I've got 30 different private messages off my Discord server from people congratulating me. It's funny when Corey, Corey Boe, you messaged me. I know things happen, but your 100 case strime went live without you. By the time he tried calling me on Discord, I was already live with a new stream. He might not have been aware though. Why are people tagging me in the spoiler chat? Here's the kingdom and someone doing something dumb.  Because we don't allow rom links and stuff on our Discord server. Anyways, someone's in the chat now who should replace the word plaque with a 100, 100K plaque. Thank you guys, man. By the way, we're at $322 in Super Chat tonight. 21 new members and there's only one of those members was gifted. Drop the band hammer. I feel like I should do a member only giveaway too. I know, the next giveaway will be member only. I like to give our members a chance to win at least one prize every giveaway I do away from the general audience. But that'll be the next giveaway. Well, the next giveaway will be member only. It's not a neat item we're giving away next. We have some more digital codes we're giving away and stuff.  We have a lot of Ubisoft games we'll give away at Prime Gaming Fest. Well, that's for Prime Gaming Fest, that's not for tonight. Big giveaways always at the end. The Zeldemann, always at the end of the stream. Ricky, thank you for being a member. Did you hear about people streaming the actual tears of gaming game on Hack Switch? Yes, I've seen it, it's been all over YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, blah, blah, blah. I know. Prime Gaming Fest is June 8th to June 11th. It's a four day event with 12 hour streams. Course by then you guys will be used to 12 hour streams because I'm doing a lot of them for tears of the kingdom. Yeah, I've had other people tell me do 24 hours. Dude, I don't know if I can do 24 hours anymore, man. I might be too old to pull off a 24 hour marathon. Plus, then I sleep for an entire next day and what's the point? I can do 12 hours, I can do eight to eight and then do eight to eight again on Saturday or I could just be dead and skip the whole weekend because I'm sleeping, you know? It's sad, isn't it? What, that I can't do 24 hour marathons anymore? You know, I could probably do 24 hours but then you have to accept I'm just not gonna exist for a couple of days. All right, see how many people got entered. A lot of people, 251. I mean, this one's gonna be a bit more limited because this is only gonna apply to people who have a regular Nintendo Switch, not an OLED or a light. Let's just roll it. Let's roll it. Let's get this one done. I'm glad that I made it stop yelling out, congrats at, congrats Dova Chicken? I don't really know how to pronounce it, Dova Chicken? Congrats Dova Chicken. You gotta at me back in the chat, buddy. No, I don't want to aim at the dictation right now. Shout out to ChrisGosPewPew, ApocalypseMVP, and SarahJose. Hey, Dova Chicken. Sorry guys, my computer's lagging because the chat's going so fast. Literally my computer's, the computer chat is lagging, not the computer itself. PatGoon with $2, you are a great YouTube subscriber. Keep it up, see if I can feature you quick. Let's do it. There we go. Oh, now it's working again. It's called a Fixture S1. There is a Fixture S2. Fixture, F-I-X-T-U-R-E. It's ran by one guy, that's a really cool device. And again, I have a prototype for the OLED, but I mean, the prototype has problems. But he's got an actual OLED version out now. All right, so Dova got his claim in, that's good. All right. Shall we just go straight into another giveaway? It's almost 10 p.m. Let's go to a member-only giveaway. So I want to note, stick around, the big giveaway we're doing at the end. This will be a member-only one, and the best way to ensure only members enter is to lock the chat to members only, okay? So this is not, this is not the way it's going to stay. This is just the way it's going to be for a moment. I'm trying to remember how to even lock the chat to members only, give me a second. So this is just temporary while I do this giveaway, and then we'll unlock it.  Trying to find, here's the kingdom pro controller, but I am not paying. I understand that. So we got lots of members only, let me... Is that it? That doesn't help. Hold on, there's a way to do it. I haven't done it in so long, I forgot how to do it. Hold on, there's a way to do it. It's under customization, I think. Oh yeah, slow modes on, here we go. Participation mode, who can send messages, there we go. Members only, got it. All right, so we'll be right back. We'll be right back for everyone else. Zombie Lemon, Andrew P. Javier Ruiz, 498 says you're so awesome, proud of your milestone, 100k subscribers, thank you so much. All right, I'm an awesome and hero of time, got his message, it must have happened right as it went to member only mode. Okay, this is gonna be a weird giveaway. So we're giving away what's in here. What's in the bag? This is a weird one, guys. It's ridiculous.  Is there accessories in here? Of course there is. This is ridiculous, guys. Okay, this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever given away. Hold on, hold on, I'm gonna set it up. I'm gonna set it up, hold on. Literally, this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever given away. So, have you ever played Switch in handheld mode? And you thought to yourself two things. Two things in particular. One, when you're in handheld mode, you'd like to unlock the full capabilities of Switch. In dock mode, but in handheld. Give me that full power. Give me that extra frame rate. Give me that extra resolution. But in handheld mode. Has that ever crossed your mind that you'd like to do that without hacking your Switch? You can hack your Switch. That's problem number one that this solves. Would you like to run your Switch at its full capabilities without hacking it in handheld mode? Yeah, some people would. The other thing is, would you like a movie theater experience in your hands? A 1080p. Cause boy do I got the solution for you. Say hello to the Orion. It is the biggest Nintendo Switch handheld you'll ever see. You hold it like this. You play your game. This has been tested. This works. So, how does it work? It'll work with all Switches, by the way. OLEDs, regular Switches, not lights, of course. First, you open this latch back here, right? It opens up. There's a tab you should pull here. I'm not pulling the tab. It'll work without you pulling the tab. But, you grab your Switch. You bring it in here. You slide it in. There's a USB-C slot there for docking it. Lock it in. You take the straps. This is the ridiculous part. You take the straps. You put a power bank in here, okay? Whatever power bank you got. For me, I got a 50,000 milliamp power bank. That's what I used when I was testing this. Got speakers as well. You put your power bank in here. You run power, USB-C power off the bank to the USB-C port. Hit your power button at the top. You got volume as well. Play your Switch, baby. It is massive. It is amazing. And it'll change the way you play Switch in your bed forever. You get a full, look, I even peeled the plastic. Here's the plastic. See this? Oh, how well you can see it's kind of see through. There's a tab here. I haven't even peeled the plastic. It's hilarious, but it's epic. I played Breath of the Wild on this, testing it with the film on. My Lord. I'm laying in bed playing Breath of the Wild in 1080p on this massive screen like this that makes me feel like I'm in a damn movie theater because it's edge to edge viewing, baby.  And it's expensive. But it can be yours for free. Now, it comes with this nice case. What do we got in this case? I don't know if all of this goes with it, I gotta see here. Let's see here. I don't know if all of this goes, I don't know if all of this goes with it. Oh yeah, there's these optional handles. You can install for better grip. That comes with it. They install right here on the back. There's like these slots here. So if you don't like how your Joy-Cons feel, there's these extra handles you can install that make it feel better. I'll probably include a USB-C cable. Maybe we'll see. I'll probably include one. I will not be including my power bank though. Sorry guys. Shipping a battery is just very expensive to do. So we're not shipping no 50,000 million. You'll have to have your own power bank.  But that's what we're gonna give away. Members only. Members only. Oh, I left my switch in it. Hold, ship it with my switch in it. Someone almost got a free Zola, hold on. Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Hold up, hold up, hold up. Switch is not included. Sorry guys. You got excited for a moment. My switch is not included. That was almost dangerous right there. Uh-oh, look out. You were getting a Zelda OLED on top, no. But it'll fit any of the switches, including the OLED as you just saw. Hold up. That would've sucked since I'm using this switch to play Tears of the Kingdom. And all of a sudden I don't have it because I shipped it out. It won't fit the light now, yeah, it won't fit the light. You could technically still run a cable and make it work, but yeah, I wouldn't do that. Yeah, mods get to enter too. Mods always get to enter. They're grandfathered in whether they're members or not because it's only fair. So, to enter for this, members only on this one and then we'll reopen the chat after this giveaway. Sorry, I gotta wait for the giveaway chat thing to catch up. We have a lot of new members by the way. I don't know if it's just because they wanna win or if they just wanna support or if it's both, me to me, or maybe they just wanna chat while it's locked on members only. Anyways, all right, whoa, this is all messed up. There we go. So yeah, big boy, is it picking up? It's hiding big boy, hold on. I gotta change it, hold on, hold on, hold on. I don't know if big boy's working. There's so many big boys being spammed but they're all hidden. The only ones that are, okay, we gotta change it, we gotta change it. Hold on, we gotta change it. The only people who are entered right now are mods. It did not like, it did not like big boy. It did not like big boy, we tried. So let's just do little case, small case big, yeah. Only mods were entered. There we go, there we go, now it's working. Yeah, it's because all the comments are being hidden. Yeah, there we go. Member only giveaway, they'll reopen the chat guys. I know we got like 600 people waiting and there's probably only like 50 in the chat that are members. Maybe 89, did I underestimate how many members we have? Dude, are we about to have over 100 people entered? How many members are here tonight?  Do we have 100 members here tonight? You know what, I feel bad. There's people that wanna enter that can't, right? Like they just can't afford to be members, I feel bad. I feel bad, that doesn't feel right to me. We gotta do something about that. We gotta do something about that, that doesn't feel right. That doesn't feel right. One time only, thank you guys. One of my thanks to the community guys. Welcome to the 50 new people that are now gonna be able to enter this giveaway. Just one time only. I wanna say thank you. You, by the way, as a member get access to our member only boards on Discord. If you connect your Discord and your YouTube account together, you also will get all the emojis now in all of our chats and on our stuff. So now we gotta let this go for a bit. This thing's gonna be popping off forever because this thing takes a long time. There's gonna be so many new members, I can't even shout you guys all out. But go get your entries in. Go get your entries in, go. Go. Don't say I never did anything for you. I just gave up money. That's $250. Sure, you can say you get that back. You don't. Do the math on that. Yeah, I lost 75 bucks to do that, so. You're welcome, YouTube, for $75. Totally worth it. Totally worth it. The rest I'll get back next month. Totally worth it. To get 50 more people a chance to win. Totally worth it. Let's go. It's gonna take a bit. I'm not gonna announce the winner until it sifts through all of the new members because when we open the chat back up, I don't want it to keep popping off the members I gifted. So it's gonna be a bit. Samuel Blase, thank you so much for your oh, natural membership. Same to Chantel Holm. Yeah, now we gotta wait. So while we wait for it to go through the names, any of our members got any questions? What does it mean to be eliminated by repeating the giveaway word? If you put it in twice, our bot will kick you out of the giveaway. We have 126 people entered, by the way. 190 not, we have some super chats coming in. How do you become a member in the first place? There is a join button, Jordan Land. Yeah, so super chats still come through from regular members, by the way guys. So if you're just a regular viewer right now and you just wanna say something, a super chat will come through. How do you become a member in the first place? You gotta hit the join button.  I'm guessing an iPhone. So being on an Apple device, it's a little more complicated. I think I have a link down in the description. You can click, let me check. Become a member of the board, yeah. So become a member of the board and join our membership crew. You have to go click on that link in the description. It'll open the YouTube channel in a web browser. Let it open in the web browser and you can join from there. Apple's really weird. There's no way to join it directly off the YouTube app on Apple. Joshua Langston, hey Nate, congrats. First in the play button, which retailer Walmart tried best by Game Center you think could break street date? It's already broken. It doesn't matter anymore, Josh. Maybe that's what the wink was about. Captain Togoa, became a member. Redmond07 as well. What is the first new monster from the trailers you were looking for to fighting? Redead, Redead baby, let's go. I haven't seen it in any of the videos, Redead baby. Random boy, man. NK, we're getting a lot of natural members too, man. This is insane. So I gifted 50 and we almost have 50 new members on top. Damn, you guys. Granted, they're not all $5 memberships because our lowest member is $3. Most of the people joining are just joining the champion rank, the champion ranks $3, right? Oh wait, our champion. Dude, I don't remember the own ranks in my own membership. What are the ranks? I don't even know the ranks. What are the ranks? I'm gonna go check, because I don't know. Will Walmart have any in-store copies of the Jersey Kingdom Deluxe version on launch? I don't know. GameStop supposedly will. I don't know if Walmart will. Champions $3, okay. I'm gonna check, what's the $5 rank then? I know legend is 10, isn't it? Legend is 10. By the way, $3 is awesome. I think legend's 10. $5 is leader, okay. All right, thank you, Lily. So the 50 gifted members were all leaders I gifted. You don't know the ranks because the elevator's out. Yeah, the elevator's been out a bit. So let's see here. NK, NK, let's see. Eric, Genuzzi or whatever. Thank you so much for joining. Joseph Salazar as well. A lot of the champions joining, you guys are awesome. It's been a great year looking forward to another. Are people like, are people trying to tell me that I should start pulling, what, who? What, are there like a number of really big YouTubers and live streamers that literally it's members only in the chat all the time? Our chat is going a little nuts tonight. I will say this is a much more manageable chat. Michael Lorenz to create a graduation on 100K thanks for the membership. Create a graduation. What's a graduation? What's a graduation? Like I know what graduated from like high school and college means. What's a graduation? I got a shot for you here for your 10. Thank you so much. Samuel Jackwas. Let's see, Samuel Jackwas as a new member. Samuel Blaise gifted a membership. That's awesome. Thank you so much for that. Arley's Grace became a member as well at the champion rank. Lots of champions. I do not want to, by the way guys, for those that aren't paid members, don't worry, we're still gonna open the chat back up. But I know there's a lot of popular YouTubers that lock it down because the chats, it's not just a money ploy. It's because the chat's impossible to manage already and it's only more impossible when you have 700 people trying to talk at once. I want to be the first thing to be able to ultra hand. Again, the first thing I've been able to ultra hand is gonna be probably whatever vehicle is required to to do the stuff in the sky. But I think a lot of us are gonna end up building maybe different looking vehicles but vehicles that are meant to accomplish the same goal. Because we're all gonna be trying to get the abilities and trying to get through the tutorial area. So a lot of us are gonna have a very similar first experience. My member chat thing ain't working. Any advice to get to work? My next message is what I wanted to tell you. I have no idea how to make it work. I don't work for YouTube. Like when there's glitches with YouTube stuff, I don't know what to do with that. I don't know what to do with glitches from YouTube. Like, cheers though. But I understand why some people lock down chat to pay it only. We're gonna open our backup though. We do little moments during Prime Gaming Fest as well that are member only, but for the most part most of the stream is open to everyone to chat. Kylie Rice. Hey, are we done with the members? I mean, we're not done, there's more. We gotta wait for Joshua Ling since $5. There it is. I think, did we get through the 50 though? I think we got through the 50. And now it's just gonna do alerts for all the new members. Right? Right, hold on, let me check. Yep, there's Redmond 07. There's Random Boy. Yeah, all right, all right. We got through the 50. We got through the 50, it went through it pretty quick. All right. Cool. We're having 100 new members tonight by the way, guys. How did you come up with the name Nintendo Prime? It's not that great of a story. A lot of people assume it's because of Metroid Prime.  So I ran Zelda Informer. And I'm like, Nintendo what? Cause I wanna do all of Nintendo. Nintendo what? I can't think of a second name that works. Nintendo Plus. Nintendo News, Nintendo Informer. I might know all those names are taken. And I was sitting there watching something on Amazon Prime. And I'm like, Prime, Nintendo Prime. Nobody was Nintendo Prime, so I became Nintendo Prime. It's the stupidest thing, Amazon. Also, we also had Jeremy, Jeremy Jen, Sir Nicholas. We're almost done. We're almost done. We're almost caught up and then we're gonna, we're gonna, yeah, so many new members. Oh, natural, 103 new members now. Dude, this is incredible, man. Damn. How do I take a screenshot of chat on a Samsung phone? Isn't it like Power Button Plus Volume Up or Volume Down or something like that? Just Google it. I literally just got off of Samsung S23 not too long ago. I'm pretty sure it's like Volume Up, Volume Down, Plus Power Button, one of the two. All the phones are pretty similar. iPhone's like the same way. Volume Down, Plus On Button, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep. I was gonna say, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's pretty similar to every phone's like Volume Up, Plus Power Button, Volume Down, Plus Power Button. Yeah, Plus Volume Down, Plus Power. I was saying maybe just tap it quick. Just do a quick squeeze, quick squeeze. All right, we're almost through, I think. Yep, two more to go, I think. Jenny John and then Sir Nicholas and then we draw the winner. Then we draw the winner. We have 140 people entered. Now I gotta let the giveaway chat catch up. Do we have a shot count? Well, the beer ones are whatever. We're about halfway through the beer. Real shot wise, I've done two Canadian whiskies. One tequila, three shots of this, two shots of this. I can drink a lot though, so. We're doing all right.  By the way, $100 super chats, as I mentioned at the beginning of the stream, get the confetti cannons too, in addition to the shot, but we already fired one anyways. At least Yulia did because she was happy for me. I don't know if she was crying. I was too busy crying, looking at the play button, but I mean, God, the play button looks sexy back there, doesn't it? Just right there, just right in that spot. It looks sexy, don't it? I don't know what it is, man. Let's draw a winner. Let me stop procrastinating. All right, and our winner is, congrats, Tidalias. Tidalias or something, Tidalias, Tidalias, I have no idea. Congrats, claim it at me back, buddy. There it is, that was a quick, see how much quicker the claims are when it's like 150 members only able to chat. See how much quicker that is? Awesome, awesome, all right. Now we gotta reopen the chat. We gotta let everyone out of chat jail. How do you fix it? You can't fix it if you joined in the wrong kind. You gotta log into the other account and rejoin.  Yeah, there's no way to transfer it. That I can tell you. All right, we're gonna reopen the chat.  All right, there you go. That should let most of the chat back in. Subscriber only. I'm free, look at that. Yeah, when I let people back in, it's just a lot of, finally. Yeah, as I tell people, you do not have to pay to get my attention. I miss you, I'm free, generally, MC nice, yeah. Sorry, I tried guys, I gifted 50 members to try to get you guys in. Garrett the carrot, I'm free. Hey, I gifted 50 members. You can't say I didn't try to get you in, okay? I gifted 50 members to get you guys into there, all right? I tried. I just don't, I don't have the money to gift that many members. Maybe someday I can gift 600 members. I don't have that kind of funds at the moment, so I tried, I tried, man. Tried to get some of you in. Yeah, dude, I love everyone in this community, man. What's up, Paul Gale? Yeah, dude, I love everyone in this community. Like, you don't have to pay for me to care about you. You know, money's cool, money comes and goes. The experiences of what I'll remember for a lifetime. Let's see, we got, love your content, man. Keep it up, I wish you the best as Jack Parker. Thank you so much, man. You've been a leader for three months, I appreciate that. We got, take or extend, I've seen what the new shrines look like, cool. Stop spoiling things, technically we shrines weren't 100% confirmed. Stop spoiling things. Yes, there's no nice shrines. Most people kind of figured that out already, but that's all I'm gonna say. Switch giveaways on May 12th. What do you screenshot for the giveaway? You get a screenshot of me adding your name, the giveaways today. And then you email to giveaway at nintendoprime.net. Make sure the subject line is what you won. If it's not, you forfeit your prize. Not messing around, it's too much hassle trying to like go back and forward to figure out what people won, what, cause then people claim they're on prizes and then you run into this whole BS. If the initial email has the prize in and it's pretty easy then. Gotta get ready for school, so gotta say goodnight. Grats again on the 100K, thanks Christopher. You're awesome, man. Where are all the big boy ponds we have left? Yeah, maybe that was the problem. I just, congrats on 100K. Thank you so much, DeSavoy54, I appreciate it. That giveaway was epic. Well, I hope it was entertaining for you guys at least, but couldn't chat. So for physical giveaways, we've got this. It says extra giveaway on it. These are just some thumb grips. Not a big deal. Our last grand prize giveaway. Are you guys ready for me to reveal the grand prize giveaway? You guys ready for me to reveal it? Yeah, sorry, I'll take down that, come in. All right, so I showed you earlier the giant white thing. It's all packed up. I'm not taking it out of the packaging. I was sent another one. These things are awesome. I forget what company it is, but this is what you're gonna win. Whoop, eeeh, this, this is mine. This is my personal one. So it's a Game Boy taken apart with all the parts described in cased in glass. Tetris, I think is the game. Yeah, Tetris is the game in the background. This is actually kind of dirty. I need to clean my glass, actually. Yeah, really need to clean the glass on it. This hangs on the wall on one of my sets. Anyways, we have an extra one packed up ready to go to give away. Um, so what I'm going to note though, this is the problem. This giveaway at the end of the stream is gonna be U.S. only. Now why is it U.S. only? Two reasons. This is actual glass. I don't want it to break. It's gonna break international shipping. It's gonna break. Uh, the other part is it has exposed circuitry and exposed circuitry gets caught by customs. So, yeah. I don't want the glass to break and I don't, I don't want it to just get caught in customs because of exposed circuitry.  So I'm sorry, it's not me. I'll pay the $200 it takes to get it to you. Alaska's the U.S., they will ship to Alaska. Alaska's part of the U.S. Um, yeah, it's unfortunate. It's not me.  I mean, look, if I'm honest, I'd just replace it with plexiglass but the exposed circuitry thing, the whole reason we have one is we already tried, someone won it before we sent it to them. They were international. Customs grabbed it, they opened it and they're like, yeah, no. You're not sending exposed circuitry. And then they sent them back to me. And I'm like, oh. So I sent the person like a gift card, but yeah. So we can't ship it international. Sorry. I tried guys, can't do it. So that's the grand prize tonight. It's worth like $500. I saw some people dip out cause they can't win it. It's whatever. Giveaways, by the way. We have more eShop gift cards to give away.  Core's light, of course it does. So if whoever wins it is from a different country, I guess I get to give it away again. Yeah, I did try. Let's see here. The OLED collection edition and pins, as it says, when you go to enter that giveaway, they are announced on May 12th. That is a totally separate, independent giveaway. The OLED, the collector's edition and the pins is a completely separate giveaway. I need a girl again. It's maybe a Linie's, little lining coogles. To be fair, my party beer, if I'm out with friends, I probably just drink a Miller Lite or something. Not that much better than Core's. What is your opinion on a Minish Cap remaster? I also wanna know if the OLED is international. I'll say this, the OLED is international to countries that allow me to ship a battery. There are some countries that will not let me ship a battery to them. The OLED includes a lithium battery. So some of those countries just won't let me ship a battery to them. There are some countries that will. So I would say if you wanna know if you're gonna win the Switch OLED, you gotta check your local government rules. If they will allow batteries to be shipped. So I'm not about to go over a whole list of countries. That's up to you to figure out on your individual self. I will look into it if the winner tells me a country and then I have to go look up the country and be like, sorry, I can't ship it there. So I don't even look up the countries. Some countries allow it, some countries don't. Nothing I can do about it. That's not me, I'm from the United States. Over 50% of my audience is from the US. I'm from the US. I ship from where I ship, right? I'm not moving. I live in Wisconsin, so. I wonder if people figured out what part of America I'm from based on my accent. Because obviously to me, I don't feel like I have an accent, but I clearly do, you know? You what from where? You what? Miracle. Never would have guessed Wisconsin. Julia's accent comes off way stronger. Also, Julia was Russian. Okay, she got adopted at nine years old out of Russia. I'm not surprised her accent's a bit stronger. I don't really know. I was just in Boston and I fit right in with like half the people that I heard talking in Boston. So I don't know that I have like a really strong accent based on other places I've been in the US, but also, I don't know. It's something you could live here. Yeah, like, I don't know. Maybe that's part of my appeal is like, I don't have this super thick accent that makes me feel like I'm from any particular part of the world. I just talk, but you have to wax. Well, there is an accent. Everyone has an accent. It's just what is my accent? I don't know. There's a little Scotty in there. I know with certain words. There's also a little bit of Irish that comes out once in a while. I can't make it happen. It just happens really randomly. All of a sudden, there'll be like a smidge of an Irish accent that comes out. And no, I've never been to Ireland, so I don't get it. I got Irish in my heritage. I don't know what that has to do with anything. I've never been around people who with the Irish accent. It just, I don't, it's happened my whole life. Like once a year, like a few words come out in the Irish accent and I don't, I don't get it. It's like, it's like the luck of the Irish struck me or something. It's weird. Hello on the stream. Is your first time here? Probably another half hour.  Lucky charm if I answer that. Too many lucky charms as a kid, right? Let's see here. A lucky charm I think. I was here for the giveaway. Big, uh, hits on a prime, just dropped in. What's up, what's up, 10 piece McNugget. Get a little 10 piece going. The power of Hylia compels you. Zulorain, Zulorain. How's it going, buddy? Welcome to the champion ranks. Here's what I usually do when we get new members but we have so many tonight. Welcome Zulorain. You are the latest member of the board of directors of Nintendo Prime. Hop on that elevator as we go to floor 99. And then I hit an elevator, I don't have, it doesn't work anymore. Ever since I switched to Mac, I can't use voice mod anymore. Voice mod had a bunch of sound effects I used to use. And now I can't use them anymore. It just doesn't work. Voice mod just doesn't want to work on Mac. And I don't know why.  I can't use that anymore.   Oh well. Yeah, voice mod on Mac is just totally right. We switched to Macs and now it's like, I lost a lot of my sound effects. Developers, why would you switch to Mac? I'm gonna give you the best reason why I switched to Mac. Why I switched to Mac. One, I was always planning to stream from Windows. Let's be clear. We were going to buy a Mac Studio because Macs do something significantly better than Windows. Edit videos. Edit and render videos. Macs are just better. It's not even a competition. In every test, running the top 10, like just the top tier PC hardware, 4090s, 3,900Ks, 7950X, 3Ds, actually 3Ds gaming, well just the 7950X. It doesn't matter. Macs are just better at video editing and video rendering. It has made my, if you wonder why I'm able to get two, three videos out of date right now, I couldn't do that on my PC. I cannot Mac. Number one. Number two, we're still going to stream for my PC. My main editing PC with like a 5,700 XT, or no, I had a 6,700 XT in there and a 5,900X literally died out of nowhere. Don't know what happened. The motherboard fry, I don't know. Maybe the bad power supply that fried everything meets me, but it died. And this is before I even had the Mac. I was gonna use that computer to keep streaming. So now we stream off the Mac too. So we were never supposed to stream off the Mac. That was never part of the plan. When that computer died, and then we went ahead and bought the Mac, which completely drained our bank. We spent like $5,400. And after we spent that on the Mac, the bank account read 20 cents. So we literally drained the bank to buy the Mac Studio. But we couldn't buy it right away because we didn't have the money right away. We had to save. So it was like two months. Tax return came in, yada, yada, yada. I was running everything off my laptop, which that was rough. That was very rough. And then, yeah, I mean, we survived obviously. The laptop barely survived. Trust me, there were days the laptop didn't wanna turn on. We were massively overheating this laptop. It is not meant to do what I was doing with it. I was, it's not the video editing, all of that sucked on it. It was the live streams. Dude, I'm running 4K cameras off this thing. I'm running these really powerful microphones. I just, it just, this laptop's not made for that. Anyways, it survived barely. So now, we bought the Mac Studio. And the thing is, because it's a customized Mac Studio, I think we upgraded all the specs. We didn't get it shipped out for like six weeks. We sat there waiting for it to ship. I've never spent so much money on something that I had to wait six weeks for it to ship. And it was the six most excruciating weeks of my life. Not knowing if it was gonna ship. So like, anyways, bottom line is, we have it now.  Mac is just way better for what I'm doing for a living. For editing videos, creating content, Mac's just better. It's not better for live streaming. It's just straight up not better for lives. It's fine. Everything we're doing now is off the Mac. Well, my machine runs fine. There's no problems, really. But there's certain things I can't do anymore because it's just not supported on Mac. So it's whatever. I'll probably build a streaming PC eventually. I like building PCs. So I'll probably build one eventually. But bottom line is we gotta rebuild the bank. We've got like nothing in the bank anymore. It might seem like it because we're all the giveaways and the 250 memberships I just purchased. But really, I just took money. I just got paid from YouTube like yesterday and just pushed it to next month. And then gave up 75 bucks is really what I did. Because we had such a good month, I wanna push some of the money forward a little bit. In case this month's not as good. I'm afraid this month's not gonna be as good because we're doing those Tears of the Kingdom live streams. We're doing 12-hour live streams of Tears of the Kingdom. You know what I'm not doing? Well, I'm doing live streams of Tears of the Kingdom making videos. So I'm 100% reliant on live stream revenue. And live stream revenue is amazing. It really is. But it's not always amazing. There are times when we live stream that it's like $2. Because all live stream revenue is super chats and memberships. We don't make ad revenue on live streams. So it's based on community support. And that's not guaranteed. You don't just go live and make money. It just isn't guaranteed. Like did I think tonight we would make a little bit of money? Sure, cause it's an emotional celebration stream. But like there was no guarantee I was really gonna make anything that mattered. And lo and behold, we made $382 in super chats. That's before YouTube takes their cut. 104 members, of course I gifted those, a half of those. You know, it's one of those things that you rely on the, when you can just make videos all day, make two, three videos and pull in $300 in a day. Or you live stream all day and might only make $5. I'm taking a risk. I'm basically taking a risk to give up money so I can play Tears of the Kingdom. Let's just be frank. Cause if I'm not live streaming Tears of the Kingdom, I'm probably making videos. So if I'm making videos, I'm not playing the game. So me live streaming Tears of the Kingdom is an excuse for me to play Tears of the Kingdom. Let's just be real. Me doing like a week straight of 12 hour live streams is for me. So I get to play the game. Cause otherwise I'm not gonna have time to play it. So I really hope those live streams do well. If they don't, whatever. Still playing Tears of the Kingdom. So we'll just give up a week of revenue and hope the views come back. All right, we had a $20 Super Chat earlier from GI Rocky 35. What up? I got my Zelda OLED on Sunday. We're so close. I'm late to the stream because I just woke up. Anyways, here you go. Thank you. In theory, I reject this money. It is only in practice that I accept it. Ah, you did 20. Let's see more in a minute. Let's go back to the original strawberry lemonade. You should leave the streams public after the fat. You definitely watch them later on. We put them as unlisted because it clutters the channel and we have found that it affects viewership of videos. So they're not hidden. They're just unlisted. So if you find a link to it still on social media or Discord, you still watch them. I thought that was gonna taste so much better. It's really not good. We had $10 in from Santiago Solis meat arrow opinion. Squirt out. It works for distracting things. So I guess it has a purpose, right? It's about it. Here's Joy CJ trying to come up with a brilliant idea. Can't you put them on your live channel? We tell you don't have a live channel. We have a Nintendo Prime podcast channel that could be turned into a live stream clips channel. Here's the problem. I don't have time. You have to download it, which takes hours. Then re-upload it, which take, I just don't have time. Just don't got the time. So let me put this out there. It's well known by many, but not all. I do this alone. I record, I edit, I research, I upload, I make the thumbnails. I do everything by myself, not unusual on YouTube. Sometimes when you start to get as big as I am or bigger, you maybe you'll hire people to do stuff, but I don't. So, at least I can't right now, right? I mean, let's just be real. We blew up so fast over the last couple of months.  I just, I do all my own research. I come up with all my own ideas. It's a lot. It's a lot. I just don't know, it's just a time. I'm barely getting the audio version of the podcast up every week. Like that's how crazy it is right now. Like I'm barely getting it up. Tempest at a chat, congrats man. Happy your family, your amazing community. Here's the 133K, yeah man, I hope so. Two dollars from Taker 610. I'm just buying this all the OLED dock in Procontroller. Ew, beer shots.  It's for me. If I did real 30%, 40% shots, for every $10 enough Super Chat, I might be dead today. I might literally be dead. We're at 395 in Super Chats by the way tonight. That's awesome. So close to 400. How much time until the stream ends? It ends when I say it ends. I don't know. I don't really put a timer on it. We appreciate it though, you're welcome. Subscribe to Nate's Sports channel, oh my God. My channel with one video. Hey, I got 60 subs over there. I got two videos, sorry. Sold myself short there. I got two videos on the Milwaukee Bucks. Yeah, that didn't go well this year. Grabbed those videos around last season, but that didn't go well either. Anyways, Milwaukee Bucks YouTube channel. Yeah, I don't know if I'm ever getting back to that sports channel. We'll see. We had $1 from Lily Temple. Thank you so much for the $1. I appreciate it.  Yeah, we'll see. Am I hiring people someday? First things, financial security, money in the bank, paying into retirement, yada, yada, yada. You know how it goes. You gotta hit a certain threshold to be comfortable. And then once you get a certain amount past that threshold, you start hiring people, right? I don't know when that's gonna happen because it's like, I can't guarantee the success continues, right? Let's think about this. We might hit 133 subscribers, 133,000 subscribers by the time Cheers to the Kingdom comes out. That might happen, I don't know for sure, but even if it doesn't, it'll probably happen shortly after. Right now, we're gaining like 1,000 subscribers a day, minimum 2,000 some days. Is that gonna continue after Cheers to the Kingdom comes out? Like, let's be realistic about this. Let's be super realistic, okay? I am a general Nintendo channel that's making a lot of Zelda content because it's the hot ticket item. I'm super hyped for it. And it's one of the biggest games Nintendo has released in a long time, right? But once we're no longer making Zelda content every day, what happens? What happens? I don't have an answer to that. Maybe our views drop back down to 3,000. Maybe our views drop back down to 3,000 views of video. How do I know you guys are gonna watch? Let me put this in perspective. We've had a few videos that weren't about Zelda over the last month. Just a few. Let's take a look at the viewership on those ones that weren't about Zelda or weren't themed around Zelda. Nintendo Switch 2 has cross-platform play literally that comes from Nintendo of Europe. This isn't even like a rumor. It's gonna have cross-platform play. Literally comes out in Nintendo of Europe, 11,000 views. All right, that one's okay. At least across 10, right? Our last non-Zelda video also about Switch 2 back on April 20th. That one is 20,000. Well, let's get away from Switch 2 topics. Let's get away from Switch 2 because obviously Switch 2 takes on its own life, especially once the system's announced, right? So let's get to a non-Switch 2 video that isn't about Zelda. Nintendo Live 2023, 1,800 views. A news video talking about Nintendo Live 2023, 1,800 views. How do I know the viewership's not about to just drop like a rock? Next video, not about the Mario movie. News on the Mario movie, 1,200 views. So not even the Mario movie was getting views. Nintendo teases the next Mario game, 13,000 views. That's decent, but still not anyone near what the Zelda videos do. Next one that wasn't about Switch 2. Even Ocarina of Time, 4K, some 9,000 views. A thank you video, 4,000 views. Let's see here. Metroid Prime 4, 2,000 views. So here's the thing. What's very consistent is if it's Switch 2, it'll probably do 10,000 or better. Zelda will do 30K or better. All other news ain't doing so hot. So that's reality. That's my reality. So once Zelda is no longer the hot ticket item and I'm talking Pikmin 4, I'm talking whatever the news is at the time, how do I know anyone's gonna watch? So I'm enjoying the success at the moment, but I can't say I've made it until every video I make does well. Right now, Tears of the Kingdom is it, right? That's the hot ticket item. Once we're no longer making Tears of the Kingdom content than what? So that's the big thing I can't answer. Because the few times I've tried to make non-Zelda videos, people don't watch. They just don't watch. So then what? Now look, I like making Zelda videos and I could keep making Zelda videos. But we're not gonna keep having Zelda news to talk about. Once Tears of the Kingdom is out, what's the news? Okay, maybe some stuff on DLC. If there's bugs, sure we'll talk about that. If someone does something absolutely insane, we can talk about that. Speedrunning records, I suppose that's news. But there isn't something that's gonna be happening daily. We're gonna be back to talking about general Nintendo news and I just don't know how to get you guys to watch that. So we'll see what happens. Zelda videos are nice. I know. I mean, and we can start speculation videos on what? I mean, yeah, we're gonna have a discussion video. Once I beat Tears of the Kingdom, sure. Two things are gonna happen once I beat Tears of the Kingdom, okay? Once I beat the game. There's gonna be a pseudo review. Not really sure what I'm gonna do about it. It's just gonna be my final thoughts on the whole of Tears of the Kingdom. I was really struggling to fire that cannon. Bama Hut! He's just gifted 50 members. Oh my God, Bama. You know, I was always supposed to fire that off for $100 Super Chats. But I was the one, I gifted 50 members earlier, as you see. Bama's just matching me. Bama, are we about to get in a member gift-off? Are we about to get in a member gift-off? Technically, we're tied right now, so I'm cool with that. That is the most amount they allow you to gift, though. I saw, so I had to do it. Yeah, we had a member only giveaway earlier, and I felt I wanted to give more people a chance to win.  Oh man, Bama, dude. That's Tequila. That's Tequila if I've ever seen it. Bama is the...  Bama Hut is one of the most well-known people in my live chat. He only shows up, by the way. Bama Hut shows up for like 10 minutes. 10 minutes of stream he shows up. And in those 10 minutes, he always instantly becomes one of the most memorable people on the whole stream. Bama Hut is a legend at this channel. And he remains a legend. Literally, he's here for like 10 minutes, and everyone knows who he is. He makes sure the world knows. All right, we got giveaways to get out of the way. Let's do these little grips. Let's get the... These are just for little thumbstick grips for Switch. They're for Joy-Con specifically. Bama's like Santa, yeah. He has me, a present, and you. It all works together. They saw the 50. Well, we're tied tonight, Bama. Don't tempt me. I'm prepared to match tonight. Don't even tempt me. Bama, by the way, Bama. You did it, man. You freaking did it, man. No! I can't believe it. I won't. I gotta keep saving. Probably a smart idea. You don't understand. Bama refuses to let me out-gift membership him. Have I ever pulled it off? Have I ever out-gift membership you when you were here, Bama? We've had some gift-offs, and we've gone back and forth like nuts. But I'm not sure I've ever beaten you in gifting more members. Well, let's give away these thumb grips. Maybe once, yeah. It's very rare, because you guys don't understand. When Bama and I get in a gifted membership off, he'll drop a 10. I'll drop a 10. He'll drop a 20. I'll drop a 20.  Check my bank. Ah, here's a 50. But Bama and I go nuts about once every three months where we just, it's insane. But no, Bama always comes in. He's gifting membership like every time he shows up. And that's why everyone knows who he is. Oh, he never dropped a 50 till tonight.  I don't know. Dude, that's insane. Let me see here. The unboxing is one of the best things I've ever watched. Oh my God, so many positive comments, even on social media. Nick Barrett's watching as well. He oughta let me know. We had some Super Chats come in, or one Super Chat, $20. We got a feature here. Rainy Day Lady. Great job, Nate. You will get where you want to be. Just do what you're doing. Thanks, thanks, man. Now, I'm a general, I don't wanna be solely reliant on Zelda, does that make sense? I'm a general Nintendo news channel and stuff. I don't wanna be solely reliant on Zelda. Zelda's great though. I love Zelda. It's literally my favorite franchise. I didn't run Zelda in former for a decade because I don't love Zelda. I love Zelda. No surprise that my Zelda content's doing well because I'm super passionate about Zelda. It's funny too. I see the comments right now and then, God, this guy's just milking Zelda.  We get one every six years.  At this point, we get one every six years. Let me have this. Let me enjoy. Let me cook, baby. Dude, if I wanna make a video tomorrow about Kotaku drama related to Tears of the Kingdom, let me cook, baby. We only get six years. One's every six years to do this. Let me cook, baby. Let me cook. Plus, I can't even tell about Pikmin 4. That's gonna be really, I know I gotta do a shot for the 20. I gotta get this tequila. You can tell I'm avoiding it. Let me set up the giveaway here for the thumb grips. Let me get the thumb grips here. Key word. Let me get the setup. Oh, that's the wrong. No, it can't.  Oh my God. Okay, hold on. Let me set the shot aside so I don't spill it. I got two keyboards here. So this is my keyboard for the Mac. You know, the Magic keyboard. Then I'm trying to type on there and it keeps messing up. Because I run the giveaways through my laptop. All right. To win some Switch Joy-Con thumb grips. I don't know if anyone cares about those, but we have it actually on the giveaway. Type the following in the chat once. So I don't know if anyone wants these, but hey, we gave away a bunch of them during priming. This is an extra from Prime Gaming Fest last year. So I'm gonna put that back in the box. So we have one digital code giveaway still. One more eShop gift card, basically. And then our big ticket item. Then our big ticket item. So, and I gotta clean this stuff up down here eventually.  So I'm mobile. They added like this little like TikTok Instagram.   And you guys have been going, some of you guys on mobile have been going hard all night. I gotta open up my phone just to watch it. Just to watch it. See if you guys see. See the hearts flying down there? That's people hitting heart. Then you see the other emojis. You see all that flying down in the chat? That's happening in real time. I've had my phone up this whole time. So all of you guys sending all those emojis and all that stuff, cranking it out. I have it open on mobile specifically so I can see it. You, yeah, that's me with the hearts. Did you hear the big bang? That was loud. That felt loud. When Bama dropped the 50 gifted memberships, that was loud. I gotta do a shot and I gotta do another shot for the 20. We'll bring in the vodka for the 20. The flavored vodka. Where is that heart emoji I was on mobile? I don't know if it's there on, is it there on Android? Something there on iPhone.  I can't see people doing that unless I'm watching my own stream on mobile. That's why I have it up on mobile. On my phone as I showed you guys. I can't see it unless I'm also, so now every live stream, I'm up on mobile because, and I try to make note of this in some of my streams. I see all that. I want people to know I see it. I see you guys slamming the hearts. I see you guys slamming the emojis, the celebration ones. I see it. I want you to know I appreciate it. You know, it brings a smile to my face and Julia loves them. She's always. I have to be careful when you do shots as I work in a primary school. Sorry. Sorry, hold on Bama. I'm sorry, Bama. This one's for the children. There's a reason people do like salt and like limes and lemons with tequila. Water is not a chaser for tequila. That's for the kids, for the children. All right, we gotta do one more here for that 20. We also had a 10 come in, did we? Hold on, I think we had a 10 spot. I gotta. Zora Sapphire 1718, you should definitely consider hiring people when you get the time. The right people on your team can make sure your channel grows in all the best ways. Yeah, there's some considerations for hiring right now. Julia is sort of like my pseudo assistant at the moment, but she doesn't care about getting paid, of course, because it's all the money goes to support our family and everything, so she just likes to help. I might make her an official employee someday for tax reasons, but in terms of hiring others, like Julia right now is trying to learn Photoshop to help out a little bit with some imagery. Like right now she's trying to learn some stuff to help out with thumbnails, and I have a thumbnail artist I might hire full time eventually, but at least a thumbnail artist in mind. But Julia's Photoshop work I can use in other ways. There's other images I need on Photoshop. Like I need Photoshop sometimes, some stuff done for my videos for imagery, so I'm really glad that she's trying to learn Photoshop and learn some stuff. Also consider some of the free help folks have offered. Joycey, are you talking about the meeting you want me to do with the moderators to help me set up Prime Gaming Fest? I'm aware, Joycey. I'm aware. I'm aware, Joycey. I need to set up a meeting with our people. Photoshop can be hard to learn. I'm learning as well as I'm having to do more and more graphic stuff from my school, yeah. Yeah, I've been, dude, I know some stuff, but like, do my thumbnails suck? Can we be honest right now? How many of you guys think my thumbnails are good? Can we get, let's run a poll. We gotta give away going on right now, but let's run a poll. Be honest, I think they suck, so I honestly think my thumbnails suck. All right, let's draw a winner. I'm gonna draw a winner too. There's not that many people who enter for the thumb grip, so I'm not surprised. I'm a nuts winner here. We're gonna unpin, so the chat can unclutters a little bit. My thumbnails are simple. I guess I'll say that. I feel like simple. Congrats. Congrats, Andrea Sonneberg or Andrea. Andrea or Andrea? Sonneberg. At me back in the chat to claim it. At me back in the chat to claim your thumb grips. We got two more giveaways to do tonight, guys. At me back in the chat. Andrea Sonneberg or Andrea Sonneberg. I'm probably butchering both names. Hey, there it is. My thumbnails are very straightforward. Hey, I will say that. They're pretty straightforward. I use the words whoa and wow a lot. I'm sure some people have noticed. I use the words whoa. Basically, when I don't know what word to put in the thumbnail, I go with whoa or wow. Yulia hates it. Just ask Yulia. She hates when I use whoa or wow. When I don't know what word to put in the thumbnail, I literally just go whoa or wow. There's the, oh yeah, that's a cool name. So if you ever see me use whoa or wow in a thumbnail, just know it's because I don't know what else to put there. There's no variety of okay. Hey, give me some credit. Here's my last 10 videos, okay? Here's the words I used in my last 10 videos, Charles. Give me a little credit. I've been trying. Today, big update. Using two words is hard to do in a thumbnail when you're using big letters. So big update. Yesterday, boom. The day, yesterday as well. Sorry, I had two videos out yesterday. Warning, now that one made sense as we were warning people at the game league. All right, a couple days ago. Huge, three days ago. Nothing, just here's the kingdom logo. Four days ago, news. Also four days ago, uh-oh. Also four days ago, man, we had a three video day. It's here, that was an unboxing video. Five days ago, Kotaku video, yikes. And then also five days ago, same day, here's where the kingdom did something amazing. Amazing, so give me credit. I have not repeated a word in 10 videos. But then right away, oh no. I guess oh no is not one I used. I used uh-oh. Oh no, preview, okay? Hold on, hold on, there was a moment that I used whoa or wow for like a lot. It was a lot, latest, hold on. Um, before preview, whoa, wow, news. Oh boy, ah, yeah, huge, wow, news, update, whoa, new, news. What, June, news, huge rumor, wow, yes, wow, huge sales, leaks, zoni, yikes, best ever, news, whoa, wow.  Remix, do-do, baby, like, what? Yikes, news, wow, finally, whoa, whoa, I did whoa twice in a row, that's really bad. Graphics first gameplay, ooh, there's a complicated one. Hype is real, leaks, whoa, soon, what? News, heck yeah, whoa, yes, amazing. I can't help it, like it just works. What do you want me to do? No, it works, there's a stupidness where I, I don't, look, what am I supposed to do? Like, like, like we can talk about, we can talk about like how much it sucks, right? Like how little variety there can be in the thumbnails.  Let me just start going those same videos I just did.  Like it just, it works. I don't know what else to say.  So what am I supposed to do? Like there's not really a motivation to make it better if it just keeps working. I'm very curious, I got a buddy who does thumbnails named Mason Conrad, and I'm very curious when he does them if I'm still gonna get the same viewership, if I get less viewership I'm gonna be like, uh, whoops, maybe I shouldn't have hired a professional.  You know what I mean? But I honestly don't think they're very good. I am glad, you know, I've seen 81%. A lot of people seem to like him, 18% don't, but they're still watching the videos. Here's another question, here we go. Here's a good question, here's a good poll question. Here's a good poll question. Do be honest. Beyond, this is the true test. This is the true test of who's only here for giveaways. Here we go. This is the true poll.  Yeah, Aspen Gold covered my Kotaku video. I wonder if it'll cover my follow up Kotaku video that's gonna drop tomorrow. Here we go. How can someone say no? Because they're here for giveaways. That's how they can say no. Why would I be here if I didn't? Yeah, I like them. Again, for people who are only here for giveaways. Literally that's it. They think the content sucks, they think guys suck, and they're only here for giveaways. Yeah, the Kotaku video tomorrow is gonna be interesting. The follow up to the Kotaku video is gonna be after what Kotaku poll, it's gonna be interesting. I'm still doing some research. Here, here, I mean, here's the thing.  Because in order to properly contextualize what Kotaku is doing, I have to be willing to spoil the game for myself. I'm not spoiling it for you. Told you guys I will not spoil the game for you. But in order to do, to contextualize Kotaku's thing, I have to spoil the game for myself. Which isn't a big deal to me. Spoilers don't bother me. So you're, I'm glad the spoilers don't bother me because what Kotaku did involved spoiling the game. So I have to actually read the article to fully contextualize how I'm going to frame the video. Which means I have to be willing to spoil the game. So, you guys are welcome by the way, but I'm not gonna spoil the game in the video. But I have to, I have to be able to contextualize it so I can make the video the right way, right? That's me. I have to be able to contextualize the video. I can't contextualize the video without being willing to read the article. So, it's gonna be, let's just say I don't like blasting big media. Kotaku, IGN. And you can argue I don't need to. My videos do well anyways. But man, they make it too easy. What do you want me to do?  But more to come, more to come. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you don't want to be spoiled, don't read that article. If you guys know what article I'm talking about, don't read it. Unless you don't care about spoilers, do not read it. But I have a lot to say. Because this is in the wake of what Kotaku did in calling Nintendo unprofessional and coercive. Because Nintendo won't give them a review copy of the game and wouldn't invite them to a demo event after they advertised emulating Metroid Dread the day after release and then said, hey, if you don't want to pay for old Metroid games, just emulate them. So pirate games, which is technically breaking the law. And then, hey, thank God for pirates. Those are words that are in the article. And I'm kind of like, look, I don't care if you want to emulate, fine, emulate. But don't call what Nintendo did unprofessional. There is a professional courtesy if you want review copies of games that maybe you don't advertise emulating a game the day after it came out. It's called a professional courtesy. Wait a week to put that article up. Wait two weeks, wait three weeks. And maybe not say if you don't want to buy old games pirate. Just throw it out there. Maybe don't encourage an illegal activity. I'm not saying that people don't do it. They do, but maybe don't encourage it or skirt around it without saying the words and give Metroid Dread and Nintendo the courtesy of waiting a week before you talk about how it runs on an emulator. But you couldn't. They were sent to review copy of Metroid Dread. They dropped a review on the eighth and then talked about emulating it on the ninth. And how would they know how well it runs on an emulator on the ninth? Oh, probably because they took the review copy, dumped it and emulated it themselves. You think Nintendo sent them that review copy to talk about emulation? Of course they didn't send them a review copy to talk about emulation. But that's what Kotaku chose to do with it. And you think Nintendo is the unprofessional one for not giving you more review copies. Look, I don't like what Nintendo does in going after all these ROM sites, but I will say there's a professional courtesy. You don't encourage people to play brand new games on other people's hardware. That's unintended. Literally within the launch window of the game. We'll wait a little bit. Professional courtesy. Talk about the emulated stuff a week or two later. It's called a professional courtesy. Hey, you sent us the game, we'll wait a little bit to talk about this aspect of gaming. And we'll just focus on the game on Switch. But no, Nintendo's unprofessional because they kicked you. By the way, Kotaku is the most blocked media outlet among video game studios in the world. They're blocked by seven different studios because of the antics they pull. But Nintendo's unprofessional. Nintendo's coercive. Come on now.  That's just be real.  Also, in this particular case, Kotaku is the one acting unprofessional, not Nintendo. You thought you could talk about emulating Metroid Dread. Forget mentioning piracy. You thought the day after release of a game they sent you a review copy of, that you could talk about emulation without losing your access to review copies. Did you really think Nintendo or any company would continue to give you review copies if the day after the game comes out, you're talking about emulating it? There is not a company in the world that's gonna continue to give you review copies. If they dared to do that for a PlayStation 4 game, PlayStation 4 has been able to be emulated for a while. Sony would stop sending them games.  This isn't even about politics. It's just you did something for clicks. You got your clicks and you lost access because of it. Just accept it. When you allowed that article to be published, you had to have known you were losing Nintendo, period. Like, you did something unprofessional. Nintendo blocked you for it and they're not unprofessional for maintaining that block. It happened in 2021. This wasn't that long ago. How can they trust you, Kotaku? To one, not be a company that would leak the ROM. Two, to not be someone the day after Tears of the Kingdom comes out, to go, by the way, Tears of the Kingdom runs great on ROMs. Here it is at 4K60 FPS. You did it to Metroid Dread. Why wouldn't you do it for Tears of the Kingdom? How can they trust that you're not gonna promote playing their game on unintended hardware? Of course, Nintendo can't trust you.  They're not gonna invite you to events. Oh, it's so sad. They won't let our millions of viewers. One, all your viewers don't care about Zelda. So it's not millions. It's probably like 100,000. And let me tell ya, me covering your story on trying to slander Nintendo over it might have got more views than your article about the preview of the game might have gotten. I'm just throwing that out there. It's possible that my individual coverage of Zelda might outdo your coverage of Zelda with a bigger audience. I'm just, I might have had access to Kotaku metrics at one point and realized that the way my channel's going right now I might have a bigger viewership number for those kind of videos. I don't know, I'm just throwing that out there. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it would have had a million views. Don't seem like it.  That's okay to brag. I don't like to brag to be honest. I just, Kotaku makes it so easy. That's the problem is, is there an easy target? It's not even fun. I'm not even gonna enjoy making this video tomorrow. I'd rather just not make it. I'd rather it didn't happen. Yeah, 6% don't like it.  My content can be a lot better. I'm my own worst credit. I need to get back on camera. I need to be better with my editing. There's a number of people that if we just look at my last video, maybe I could show you guys. Hold on. Do I have this set up to show people? This might work. Let me get it open when I want. Just looking at my last video, we'll find negative comments about my stuff. We got two more giveaways to go guys, so stay tuned. But I wanna show, I get negative comments. I try not to respond anymore. But they're there. Let me sort my stuff by, do we have 365 comments? So crazy, we have 365 damn comments. Let me see if I have this working right. So if I switch to this view, yeah, I thought that was good. I could turn. Why did I not go away? That's not it. Is it this? There we go. Get rid of that. And then we have to hold on. Give me a second. There it is. Why is that so? That's not right. Turn off the Elgato. Whoa. Nate went into the matrix. All right, all right. Here we are. All right, so. So, here we go. Here we go. Let me get this live over here so I can see what I'm doing. Yeah, we're gonna ask them for a moment. So let's see here. El, hold on. Keep going. Congratulations, 100K. Literally below 30 FPS again. This is, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just keep going. We'll find them. We'll find them. You notice I gotta dig a little bit, but they're in here. Hey, with me since the 0607 in the Zeldin former days. Damn, that's a long time ago, man. Yeah, I graduated high school in 05. Anyways, notice how there's a lot of comments. So like getting to the negative is hard. Let's see here. It's in here though. Hold on, we'll get there. This video looks like it's taken on an emulator with a 60 FPS patch.  No, this is direct capture from the demo event. Nice try. It's literally from Nintendo Life's channel. It sourced it right in the video. Who was at the demo event? Anyways, that's more so criticizing the video though. Hold on, just wait. Hold on, I will get there. Okay, I've got a lot of positive comments on my bigger channel. You deserve more than 100K subscribers. Well, I have more than 100K, so thank you. Hold on. It's in here. Sure is doing a lot of talking about the game that weren't going to cover since it leaked again. When did I ever say I wasn't gonna talk about Tears of the Kingdom again, by the way? I said I wasn't gonna talk about Tears of the Kingdom game leaks anymore. I never said that I wasn't gonna talk about Tears of the Kingdom. In fact, I think I gave a whole bunch of things I could still talk about anyways. Love your video. See, there's so much to love. See, I really gotta go fishing. See, the interesting thing, as I'm looking for the negative comments, is you're seeing all these positive ones? You gotta remember how I consume the comments. I get notifications to my phone. I see all of your comments as they come in. So the negative comments come in, and then they might get buried by the positive, but I still saw it, right? So hold on. Still find it weird. You don't care about spoiling yourself. Yeah, I know. A lot of people find that weird. Um, great info. Hold on. Keep these videos coming. See, people love them. Those are people that love them. Congrats, hold on. We're gonna give it to Eric Patterson. Way to this member. Thank you so much. Hypersensitivity. This, I love this comment. This is the comment of the video. Being honest, I entered this channel for the giveaway. Total honesty. Hey, I wanted to be here for the giveaway, but after seeing a couple of videos, I realized how good the channel is, and now I'm always waiting for the next video. Keep it a good word. Dude, that's great. It's great. Seriously. Converted someone. They wanted to be here for the giveaways, and they're like, oh, complaining about the source. What did I, what did I say? I don't even remember. This guy's probably just trolling me again. Let's see here. Hold on, it's in here. I'm thinking of like three particular comments out of 300 plus, so give me a moment. Uh, let's see here. I'm like rolling past some stuff. There was a few people trying to spoil some stuff in there. Another person claiming that I said I wouldn't cover anything. It's not really what I said. Love this channel. So many positive comments. This is why you can kind of get through the negative because there's so many positive. Again, another person claiming that I said I wo
