These digital barriers, more or less, happen at the speed of light which if you are an Internet savi person does not really surprise you. But still, I must say, I am always surprised to see how quickly these things happen. And, of course, for institutions na Snake for people that have to deliver stability in terms of the message, is a problem to cope with all this. For one side you are tempted to react, maybe to overreact, on the other side maybe direction, responses to let it go, but in the meantime there are efforts in the society and the economy. prej ne boo milijončov v ICT, ki je ne da se nabaj cez.

But again there are challenges, because I mean with automatic drive, maybe some people have to change their job from driving, trucks or cars to actually being software engineers. And this is the job of a generation to change in this respect. In z vsem zelo bolj našeho, zažitkosti rač, je vsozivка najrejvča v Avrukojo. Ta nešto je pozivnje o Avrukojo.

Zato ne kako se početil, da potom ne boši vzvedati odlištje delov, tega ne je vzvednji netos, ki se vsožite. V Evu naj, da se je najmajša življena na Evu, vsim v invesimete. the bottom of the value chain, which is the connectivity. A digital society is a connected society. No connectivity, no services. We have estimated, we have presented our plan for connectivity. adding either bedsp coupe, one day, we lost in they said look our estimate, and if you have a better one I am happy to discuss it, it is more than 500 billion euros to realize what we call a gigabit society was Note which is a IPer conneted society vse či vse, ne kaj biti, pa je tudi 5G, sima moboj, nekaj je super USB na zelo, zgleda in dužitva infrastratu, in fiber na zelo, zelo, da smo spetimo dvega giga bita. Zato, da 500 mln euro prišli, in da dobrah je zelo, in ko ona je zelo stavila, naživno je zelo, da je vsega naživna in vsega vsega kaj pa je vročnja nerega vsega. Pomega, zelo je nekaj zelo, da je tudi smelje občutno tudi, da je tudi zelo začal. Zato, nekaj samo povedilih publika vsega, da tudi 500-600 milijonov, ko se bolj ima, zelo 10% zelo. So most of this money has to come from private capital. So when looking at connectivity, clearly rules are very important to convince private investors that Europe is a land of opportunity, Ireland is a land of opportunity, Spain is a land of opportunity, Germany is a land of opportunity. So country factors matter, availability of the regulatory system matters. That's why we have proposed a brand new European electronic communication code. So also symbolically the same code all over Europe with having the core idea that of course one size fits all is not the answer, the answer that is good for fostering more broadband in Ireland is not necessarily the same answer that should be in the south of Spain, but at the same time the basic ground rules, basic ground reflex should be the same. At the same time, I mean, regulators have to work together to make sure that the result is the right one. And I think listening also to private investors, Europe stands a real chance to attract capital. And of course, our aim is to say by 2025 the gigabit society must be a reliability. Because our main road should be 100% connected with very high speed connectivity because we want to get there. We want to have the low carbon economy. We want to have autonomous drive. So that's the ground rule. I mean, the thing had to work. It's connectivity, and that's what we have done. Of course, scrolling up in the value chain you have the issues about how data changes are organized. In this respect we have been working for the same rule when it comes to privacy protection, the general data protection rule which is now adopted in its implementation and it's nice to say the same rules that are in Poland are in Portugal. Because then again companies can establish their data centers not based with the Polish rule Portuguese rule be different or when and where location gives the best result. So allows for consolidation of data centers. And Ireland is a big beneficiary of this kind of single market vision about rules. We have worked on the new privacy directive which is about communication channel privacy. I mean we will present the new rules in January and also we will present a much larger reflection on data. So who owns the data? Who has the access to access the data? Again, let's take a connected car in autonomous car. Is the car manufacturer the owner of the data what is the right of third parties or OEMs or third parties developer developers to have access to those data? What is the right of government agencies to have part of access in part in aggregate form of those data? The same for health sensor, like my watch who owns the data? You are inclined to say I own the data, you own the data. Is it really so? Look the fine prints you tell me. Who has the again the possibility to use the data? This is a very crucial issue for all the businesses for all the startups. So you don't expect us that we are legislating at the speed of light. On the contrary expect us to be very prudent about all this. Expect us to ask a lot of questions to all you all what do you think? Do we have a problem about the ownership of the data? Do we have a problem about liability of the data? If my autopilot gets some sort of truck as the sky and just crashes that's something that happened it crashes into the car into the truck, sorry who's liable? The data sensor that may be misread the software company maybe the driver that should not have watched the movie but should have been a bit more vigilant so these are the challenges of the future and the same with robots in surgery rooms or robots in factories who has the responsibility for something that goes wrong. It should be not the society the control society of the things that should go wrong but at the same time these are questions that we should ask and should start to give us collectively answers on how we want to do things in Europe one thing that's important we must do things together in Europe because again imagine if Ireland would have its own definition of this autonomous drive and its own rules about access to data then the software for the car would be customized for the Irish market the app developers will have to do things for the Irish market and maybe the same app developer will not be able to sell the same apps in Germany if Germany would have its national law about autopilots or use of software and the rest so these are things where absolutely there's no other possibility that work together and I'm not saying this as a passionate European of course I am a passionate European I'm saying this out of necessity take something I will discuss this evening supercomputers Europe is nowhere in supercomputing the first supercomputing in the top 100 of the world of Europe is number 12 the rest is all Chinese or US supercomputers supercomputers are the factories of the future with big data you need supercomputers if you want to understand the human brain you need a supercomputer if you want to have a personalized drug you need a supercomputer you want to design a car you need a supercomputer so can Europe afford to do that to be the last no I don't think so but I mean of course like in aeronautics we have not the Irish planes the German planes the Italian planes we have I mean an effort to be competitive in the aeronautics market the same in supercomputing these are two big things even for large member states to think we can have our own solution and those member states that tried the supercomputing national road misily failed so take supercomputing take quantum technology take artificial intelligence take for a single member state so again whether you have your own ideas about Europe whether I have my own ideas it doesn't really matter this is an area where we need to work together so the other dimension of the digital single market is the competitiveness agenda so there is one dimension which are the rules the other dimension is the competitiveness so we have launched our competitive agenda about digitizing the European industry so trying to see what is the best route towards having especially traditional industries in the construction sector in the manufacturing sector embracing the digital revolution what it means what it means in terms of what they kind of skills in the workforce they have to acquire what kind of mindset what kind of technologies things about for instance IoT in the construction sector internet of things will be very relevant drone technology will be very relevant so we are now working with all the industrial platforms of Europe and trying to say let's work together, let's have a common agenda on things like artificial intelligence robotics and the rest we have launched a project that we call the Internet of the Humans which is the internet how we want to see it in 10 years from now we are in the internet of things we would like to test the ideas of everyone especially the ideas of small SMEs innovators in research centers how the internet should look like from a more human-centric point of view which means for instance integrating all things that now we see the augmented reality now your kids know Pokemon the Pokemon exercise Pokemon game think about the commercial possibilities with such a thing or also the social possibility with augmented reality the same goes for enhanced use of vision or enhanced use of the possibility in scanning the environment so there are many many things we can do and think also what kind of response a more human-centric internet can give to challenges such as privacy because of course if the internet is designed around you as a sphere and all application recognize what you want to do it's much easier to decide which is the level interaction you want it's a little bit like the physical society so next generation internet is another thing we have launched we have a strong partnership with industry on cyber security we have a strong partnership with industry on robotics next year we are going to launch a large reflection on artificial intelligence what it means what are the opportunities what are the ethical considerations about artificial intelligence and last not least by far the first is skills so there will be no digital society the functions without the skill workforce we said it so we need much more tomorrow we will launch our grand coalition for skills and jobs where industry universities other education institution will work together with us to create a group that really works seriously digital skill agenda digital skill agenda and we are also up for new ideas that could come today or whenever you like post ideas or now to really target directly people that are in need of every skills we are thinking for instance about European voucher scheme for skills where really we can get I mean especially young people in IT environment and maybe getting credits for this while starting so things like this we are now testing and hopefully we will launch quite quickly so skills is freely I mean probably the challenge number one looking at the next wave of what the digital signal market could mean so let me finish by saying I more believe that the digital signal market is the land of opportunity for Europe rather than the land of risks and uncertainty I think however we must be not just saying nice things but also discussing what are the challenges and how to take all the challenges but one thing I'm sure it's an area where probably we have not done enough for everyone that this is a real opportunity for all of us so I think debates as today I mean whatever we can do to push because these are all digital savvy people in the room so I'm not trying to convince you that this is important I'm just trying to stimulate the discussion what needs to be done and the priority so any idea, any debate would be really welcome and thank you very much for listening to me


to understand what are the various applications of radar remote sensing when it comes to hydrology and over the course of last few lectures, we have been understanding how precipitation can be measured or water levels in the rivers, how can they be measured using radars on board platforms like spacecraft, okay. So in today's lecture, we will try to understand how soil moisture as well as terrestrial water storage can be measured using radar remote sensing. So let us start with satellite-borne radars for measuring soil moisture. See when you hear about soil moisture, the thoughts that come to your mind is it is a very small part of the water budget, you know it is present as a very teeny tiny part of the water budget and still it is considered immensely important because of the crucial role it plays in agriculture, in weather and climate and sometimes even in the spread of diseases. So soil moisture as such it is present at a very critical zone at the surface of the earth that is it is present at the interface between land and atmosphere, is not it? That is why even though it is a very small part of the water budget, it is very crucial, it plays a very crucial role in terms of agriculture as well as weather and climate. So let us start with the basic definition on what exactly is soil moisture. It is the water stored in soil expressed in terms of volume or weight, please note that the concept of soil moisture, you know it differs from the perspective of a farmer and from the perspective of a meteorologist and soil moisture this variable is highly varying in space as well as in time, it is not homogenous which makes it even more challenging to map the spatiotemporal distribution of soil moisture from radars that are onboard satellites that are kilometers high above the surface of the earth, okay. Again please note that there are different means of measuring soil moisture, we can have in situ probes or sensors that are installed at ground, okay. These ground based measurements, they measure soil moisture at a point, you know it is not an average representative soil moisture of an area but in situ probes or sensors, they measure soil moisture at a particular point, wherever it is inserted it measures the value of soil moisture there and from a remote sensing perspective the soil moisture estimated shall correspond to average values within a footprint, remember when we discussed about radar based footprint which are elliptical, you know it can be the footprint as such can be considered as an ellipse with a major axis and a minor axis and we also discussed how this footprint can be converted to a pixel, isn't it? And a pixel represents a certain area on the surface of the earth, it does not represent a single point. So from remote sensing perspective the soil moisture that is measured by satellites it shall correspond to values that are averaged within a footprint and for a radiometer that operates in passive microwave remote sensing this footprint scale can range from a few hundred meters to even kilometers for a space bond radiometer. Here by scale I am referring to a characteristic length or a characteristic time and in the context of soil moisture measurements. So here the graph shown in front of you, you can see spatial resolution mentioned as the x axis which ranges from centimeter level to kilometer scale and as the y axis you see the temporal sampling interval that is how often are the soil moisture measurements being taken and shown here is the axis from minutes, fine scale to even decades. And I have tried to classify three systems, one is an air bond system which can have a high spatial resolution then comes a satellite imaging system which has a spatial resolution from few centimeters to meters and coming on to satellite monitoring system which has spatial resolution that can extend up to kilometers. Now please remember that I want to make a distinction between the process scale, the measurement scale and the model scale. See process scale is the time scales at which a process takes place. It rains today, what is the value of soil moisture tomorrow, time scale at which a process takes place and when we say measurement scale it can be defined in terms of the spatial and temporal sampling characteristics of a sensor system. How often is it being measured, is it being measured daily by a satellite or you know once a satellite passes over IIT Mumbai, when is the next time that the same satellite sees the same area over IIT Mumbai and what is the value of soil moisture that is measured you know spatial and temporal sampling characteristics. And third is model scale, you know using land surface models or hydrological models what we do is we take data and we try to realistically simulate a process, isn't it? Which means model scale is the mathematical or physical description of a process. So the process scale that is the scale at which a process actually occurs is different from a measurement scale that is the spatial and temporal characteristics, sampling characteristics of a sensor system and the process and measurement scale this again differs with the model scale at which we as hydrologists we try to mathematically or physically describe a process. Now when we talk about several missions which give us satellite based soil moisture we have already discussed about SMOS. Here let us discuss about the SMAP missions, SMAP as an abbreviation, it stands for soil moisture active passive. So this mission has an L band radar operating at VV, HH and HV polarizations remember HH stands for horizontal transmit horizontal receive and when I refer to polarization I mean the electric field vector the direction in which it is oscillating. So VV polarization, HH polarization and HV polarization and the SMAP instrument it also has an L band radiometer it has a radar as well as a radiometer that operates in active mode as well as passive mode and hence the name soil moisture active passive. Again the radar only soil moisture that we get from SMAP mission it is a 3 kilometer soil moisture estimate from a very high resolution radar backscatter data. So by now I am assuming that after module 2 you are clear with these terms that what is backscatter, what is radar backscatter and so on. Again SMAP also provides soil moisture measurements in the top 5 centimeters of the soil column. So let me show you the sample data just for visualization purpose from SMAP. So what you see here is the track of SMAP that is the path that it covers on a particular sample day is chosen that is November 2nd 2021 and here you see the data, the data extracted over parts of India that is whenever a small part of the track is passing over India the same data has been extracted and shown here. So you can see the different colors refer to the soil moisture in meter cube per meter cube. The different circles you see signify different colors which in turn mean different soil moisture values in units of meter cube per meter cube. See sampling considerations are very important for measuring soil moisture wherein the sampling requirements are in turn driven by the high temporal variability of soil moisture. So in the tutorials we shall be learning in detail about how to download a sample soil moisture data file and how to open and extract the relevant variables in Python. Moving on let me introduce you to one more mission that is proposed to be launched in the year 2022. So the NYSAR abbreviated as NYSAR it stands for NASA is Rosynthetic Aperture Radar which shall be the first radar of its kind to use two frequencies the L band microwave frequency as well as the S band microwave frequency to measure changes in the earth surface. So the NYSAR it shall have an orbital altitude of nearly 747 kilometers with a repeat cycle of 12 days and it shall be operating or capturing images in the L band as well as S band. If you are more interested to know about NYSAR I would urge you to visit these websites. So moving on, at this point let me discuss the measurement principles of soil moisture that is how does microwaves measure soil moisture. You see in the optical or mid-infrared region which spans between 0.4 to 0.3 mu meter there are several water absorption bands at 1.4, 1.9 and 2.7 mu meter water absorption bands. And in the thermal infrared that is between 7 to 15 mu meter the indirect assessment of soil moisture is used through its effect on the surface energy balance but then in this course we are talking about microwaves. So for microwaves the change of dielectric properties are used to measure soil moisture and microwaves as such they are highly sensitive to soil water content and we already know that they can penetrate through vegetation and soil with the penetration depth increasing with wavelength. So as part of the first module we discussed that microwaves they do not signify one particular wavelength but they signify a range of wavelengths and we also saw that they are given different names like L band, S band, C band, X band and so on, is not it? And the dipole moment of water molecules as you see in the screen it causes orientational polarization that is a high dielectric constant. They measure the backscattered energy from the surface and for radiometers that operate in passive mode they measure the emission coming from the earth surface. Let me also take the opportunity to introduce the International Soil Moisture Network. So the International Soil Moisture Network you can visit the website here, it establishes and maintains global institute soil moisture database. It is free to access and this database has been used by many researchers to validate as well as to improve the global satellite based soil moisture products. For example you can zoom into any of the locations to see how data is made available. For example I can zoom into one station and you can see the details are being present, the soil moisture depths are present, you can click and view the data as well as download the data. It is made available freely for researchers to use. You can see the time series also made available and this link allows you to view as well as download the data. Now say you want to see the location over India, you can zoom into the particular site and click on the station to get more details about the data. You can see the different soil moisture depths and the time series information that is being made available. So at this instant let me slowly take your attention to a related topic on scatterometer. So till now what we have done is we have tried to assess how radars to be more specific how satellite-borne radars are used to estimate soil moisture that is what we discussed till now. Now let me slowly shift your attention to scatterometers, see scatterometers are the instruments that provide accurate measurements of the radar cross section of the target RCS and scatterometers are flown in aircrafts or satellites and they provide indispensable information about how microwaves interact with the earth surface features. And space-borne scatterometer can be used for measuring the wind or rainfall. When I say wind I mean measuring wind speed as well as direction over water. Several measurements can be made over oceans with different viewing angles. Examples are quitsat and ERS wind scatterometer. Of course there is a need to measure the same region from different azimuth look angles here. For example the ERS wind scatterometer it uses three antennas which produce three fan shaped beams at 45 degrees forward, sideways and backwards, ERS wind scatterometer, quitsat scatterometer it employs a conical scanning and there are two narrow beams that are scanning a different scan radii. So all in all the measurements from both these scatterometers whether it be quitsat or ERS wind scatterometer they have been examined over land regions as well as over ice surfaces and please do note that scatterometers can also be polarimetric though we are not discussing too much into that. And shown here is the satellite sampling just to let you know about the spatial as well as temporal sampling of synthetic aperture radar, scan SAR and scatterometer or a radiometer. What I will do is I will take your attention to another application of radars in hydrology which is in estimating terrestrial water storage TWS using GRACE satellite mission. Now again ground water when we think about ground water it is a major source of fresh water for human sustenance and irrigation in many parts of the world and India in particular has a very high dependency on ground water as 90 percentage of annual ground water draft is utilized for irrigation as per the Central Ground Water Board 2013. And you may ask what is terrestrial water storage? So it is defined as all forms of water that is stored above as well as underneath the surface of the earth terrestrial water storage and the dearth of observations of terrestrial water storage estimates was solved by the launch of gravity recovery and climate experiment mission which is abbreviated as GRACE, GRACE mission which stands for gravity recovery and climate experiment. So as shown in the diagram the GRACE satellites they are not a single satellite but they consist of twin satellite you can see one here and one here. So these twin satellites were launched in the year 2002 to make detailed measurements of the earth's gravity field and it uses K band ranging system, K band another band when it comes to microwaves is K band and GRACE in particular uses the K band ranging system to provide precise measurements of distance between two satellites. Now these twin satellites they fly at about 220 kilometers apart and over land regions the variations of global gravity fields are due to water mass variations which means the distance between both satellites can either increase or decrease due to variations in global gravity fields and this in turn is captured by GRACE satellite and we interpret it to get information about terrestrial water storage that is a summary. So again GRACE is used to study gravity variations to determine ground water storage on land masses and if we compare the current data with that average over a long period of time we get to generate an anomaly map something known as an anomaly map and an anomaly map it shows us where ground water storage has been depleted or increased. For example if you pick research papers that have been published using GRACE data they point at depletion of ground water in the Punjab region. So that is just one case study but there are many studies over India wherein GRACE terrestrial water storage data has been compared with central ground water board well data to get a comparative assessment. Several studies to examine the ability of GRACE satellite to detect water storage changes at various spatial scales and please note that the studies using GRACE they have been conducted globally as well as regionally. So let me present one such study conducted by us. So what you see here is as the black dots they are the well locations provided by the central ground water board CGWB. The CGWB records seasonal institute well hydrograph for more than 30,000 well locations at Pan India scale and it contains information about the median of maximum ground water level during four seasons of a year that is post monsoon Rabi, January to March, the pre monsoon that is April to June, monsoon that is July to September and post monsoon Kharif October to December. And the majority of these monitoring wells they pertain to shallow unconfined aquifers except few regions in northeast and southern India which contain a large number of confined aquifers. So for this particular study what we did is we have filtered the observation wells for temporal consistency that is only those wells are used which are monitored for at least two seasons for the complete study region and further we have tried to employ an interquartile range based approach to remove outliers in the observation wells. So what you see here is the location of wells that are considered for the sample case study after initial quality control. So you see 5, 9, 8, 8 well locations here which were used for the study. So we tried to study the impact of precipitation on ground water storage using data from India meteorological department IMD and further studies were also conducted using Grays-Maskon solution based ground water estimates. So shown here is a sample plot wherein you see the trend in ground water depth that is estimated from CGWB monitoring well. So the blue dots denote significant trend and the other one denotes no significant trend for different time as in from 2010 to 16, 2003 to 9, 2003 to 2016 and so on. This is part of a study and there are many studies available which try to download and use the Grays data and compare it with the Institute data and one such introduction shall be given as part of your tutorials wherein you will learn how to download the Grays data and how to open the data in python extract the relevant variables and to see visualize the data. Okay? So let me hope that you could understand the different facets of applications of radar remote sensing and hydrology through this lecture and I will meet you in the next class. Thank you.


Hello everyone, welcome back to another session into industry and more. So today's topic is the difference between incremental and comprehensive dental care. So I have already uploaded the video regarding the same in the chapter school oral health program. But this is a concept explaining video. Many of my students are having doubt regarding the concept behind this. So what exactly is incremental and comprehensive dental care? So this video is not about the definition and its other details. So I am going to explain you in a scenario by scenario where you get the concept of incremental and comprehensive dental care. Suppose let's take an example of a school where the students are from 5th standard to the 10th standard. Okay so this is upper primary school where we have standard 5 to 10 and each standard we may have 100 students or 50 students. So we are planning to provide the dental treatment for this group of people. Suppose we take around 500 students it may vary from class to class anyway we have total 500 students. So we are planning to provide the dental care for this group of people and we need to have good funding, good workforce and all other criteria to provide dental care. So we made out a plan, we conducted a survey and we found out that many teeth require that is students teeth require restoration, many teeth or a profile axis and some students need root canal therapy and crown replacement. So all together it may reach to very huge sum. Suppose it may reach to some 10 lakh rupees, it's all assumptions and scenarios. But right now we don't have that much money. We just have around 1 or 2 lakhs okay but we have already approached the school and we said that we are planning to provide the dental treatment. So now we cannot go back from the commitment. So in that scenario what we are going to do is we are having a funder who can provide us 1 lakh or 2 lakh rupees every year okay. So in that case we can finish it or finish the problem in 5 years or 6 years. So we can provide the dental treatment part by part to the students. In that case we can opt the incremental dental care concept that is we can provide the dental care as increments. So how do we select the students from these 6 classes? So any dental care treatment, so any concept should be starting from the lowest class because this is the students where the dental diseases are at the earliest stage. If you are starting from the 10th standard it takes many years or many months to go back. By the time the student who was having initial carries when we reach from 10 to 5 this might have reached to the pulp so it needs a complicated treatment. So always we should start from the lowest class where the dental diseases are expected to be at the earliest stage but still we don't have enough money to provide treatment for all the classes. So to be on an advantageous side we are starting from the earliest class. So the first year on a public programs it is usually around 1 year on a private side it is on a 6 months basis. So 5th standard we go with this money and we provide treatment. Next year we take up the 6th standard but here we provide the maintenance care. So this one maintenance care but the newer students has joined to the 5th standard. So again we are providing treatment to the 5th standard. The previous 5th standard students they are now in the 6th standard and we are providing maintenance care. Maintenance care means if there is any restoration failure or any complication or any uneven full treatment after mass happens so we can correct it. It requires very less amount and less time. So second year the increment will be provided maintenance to the previous 5th standard that is now they are in the 6th standard and the treatment for the 5th standard. And the next year we can provide to the maintenance care to the 7th standard that is the previous 6th standard that is the first group of students where we started our treatment and we can give the treatment again to the 5th standard because new people are joined here. Similarly until the entire group covers we can go with this. The only thing is we should provide treatment for the earliest class that is the 5th standard and then the same batch or the same group of people will be provided the maintenance care in the successive years. So that after 5 or 6 years if it is very small only 8 or 9, 10 after the 3rd year or the 4th year the entire school will be covered. So this is the concept this is just a scenario. We provide treatment to the earliest class and maintenance care for the remaining class in the successive years that is the first group of people will be taken care in the future years but the care will be given to the 5th standard or the lowest class. That is the increment or the incremental dental care where we don't have enough fund it is just a scenario sometimes we won't have enough workforce. We have fund but we won't have workforce in any scenario where we cannot provide the treatment at once we can go with increments pattern. So this is how it is done. Now let's see the comprehensive dental care it is just exactly opposite here also we provide initial care and maintenance care but we have ample fund we can provide as much fund as it requires. So we have ended 10 lakh rupees in the first year itself. So we have enough workforce enough fund so the first year where we provide the initial care I mean first year means the year we are starting our program. We take up the entire mass of population or the entire school of population or the 500 people at the same time and we provide initial care that is a whatever treatment all accumulated needs will be taken care. So that is a comprehensive dental care so entire people will be taken into the program and will be treated. So the following years we can provide maintenance care whoever is having any restoration failure any other complications will be dealt in maintenance care. So when we have ample fund or ample workforce so we can go with comprehensive dental care but it requires lots of money lots of workforce lots of time because it takes lots of time to cover all these group of people but if we don't have the ample fund or ample workforce we can opt incremental dental care. This is a concept I can easily relate it with the definition and other criteria. So hope you understood this concept of incremental and comprehensive dental care. So I will come up with a new topic in the industry and thank you.

like we're good. Hey, how's it going everyone? Welcome to another sort of Nintendo Prime podcast. We're not really, we don't have any like specific topics or anything. We're just gonna kind of do a short-ish, like 40, 50 minute-ish Q&A where you guys can ask any questions you want. We're gonna take them right out of the chat. You just need to add Nintendo Prime in the chat or I don't think he's logged in. You are logged in. Yeah. So what's your username on YouTube? I don't even know. I think it's just Eric Moore. Is it just Eric Moore? So, so at Eric Moore or at Nintendo Prime in the chat to ask questions and we will do, yeah that goal isn't accurate and just like there's chat over my face as well. So here's the bottom line guys. This is not like a normal podcast episode. This will not, audio version of this will not be going up. This is just kind of a chill stream, a little chatty stream. I will be doing shots for super chats for the next 40, 50 minutes so you guys want to go nuts with that cool. I'll do what I have to do. You guys are awesome. We just wanted to say hi to you. How's it going? We didn't want to just totally skip a week. I've been a bit of a weird week because there was like a scare of COVID in the house. It's all gone. Don't got to worry about it. So it wasn't exactly planning to do one this week but I also didn't want to leave you guys hanging. I haven't really been live streaming like I wanted to this week because of that kind of stuff but I, Eric's here. We're here. Let's chat. What do you guys, what are you guys doing? What's up? What do you guys want to talk about? It's all, the floor is yours. What do you guys want to talk about? Ask away in the chat. We had one saying, what games do we recommend? Well, right now I'm playing, let me see. Well, I'm in, I joined a couple of Madden leagues.  In fact, right after this, I'll be streaming one of my Madden league games over on Twitch at Nintendo Prime TV. You can come watch me suck. I will not be on facecam, by the way, just because I don't have it set up. I need to basically get a webcam and it's whatever. I don't have it set up to do facecam. I technically could just turn this camera to the couch but I'm not. So, bottom line is I don't have that set up but you can come over and watch me. I will be on audio. I will have the chat open on my phone or something so I can still see what's going on in chat with you guys but I will be playing a league game of Madden over there in a league I'm in. Besides that, I've been playing a lot of Metroid Dread of course right here. This is a lovely game here. I am not done with it yet. I'm waiting for my final impressions till I'm done even though I'm not really going to be talking about the end of the game in those impressions but I know some people have been wondering, hey, what are your real thoughts on it? We can talk about it on this little Q&A as well. Also, yesterday I started playing Back for Blood, came out on Xbox, came out on PlayStation as well but it's on Game Pass so that's how I'm playing it. I didn't play much of it. We played for a little bit last night. Eric's been a little more than I have. He's got something to be disappointed about with it. I don't. Pissed. No, it stole it all wrong. I really enjoyed my gameplay with it but there is an unfortunate thing where, hey, we're all done here and if Eric and I want to play together, he's got to leave. Yeah. There's no split screen. There's no split screen. There's no co-op, couch co-op. Not even for just two players even, let alone four. He has to go home and get on his Xbox to play Back for Blood together which is upsetting because obviously this team is the one that created Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 and you could do couch co-op in those games. To not have it here feels like a massive oversight. Maybe it's something they patch in later. From what I was reading, there's talks maybe. There's a lot of demand for it because bottom line is some people are still like, say you got a quarantine with your brother or something like, dude. But I can't. I'd have to have two Xboxes, two TVs, two copies of the game. Two PlayStation. Yeah, it's yeah. Anyways. But while I suggest playing it, if all you care about is playing it online, absolutely. If you like the original Left 4 Dead game, you're only going to play it online. Yeah, they actually did a really good job recreating that experience and obviously a new generation. So, see, what are you most excited for in 2022? Until, otherwise stated, it's Breath of the Wild 2. That's supposedly coming next year. So, for right now, that's listed as 2022, so nothing tops that. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Also, Sparks of Hope. Yeah, for sure. Archeus would be interesting to see just how it plays and how that looks and things like that. So, that's going to be another one up there that's... So, two and three. I mean, there's so many big games next year and that's just from Nintendo. And what other random Mario they drop, if they do? Yeah. I mean, even Sony, that's when we're getting Forbidden West next year. New Horizon game, so that should be really good. Microsoft's probably going to have a really killer year next year. So, everyone, looks like 2022 is just going to be a killer year across the board. I will also say, I'm not done yet with this month, because, yeah, we can talk about Mario Party that's coming, but that's not even what I'm excited about. I might pick that up on a whim. Age of Empires 4 comes out October 28th. I forgot about that. And, of course, I have Game Pass. So, I don't even have to pay for it. I have a feeling we're going to be playing a lot of that, too. And let's just say, I may or may not have a giant, top-end, 49-inch, super-wide monitor coming in that's just going to be perfect for this game. Don't cod you. So, let's just say, Eric can sit down next to me and get the exact same full-screen experience I'm getting. He doesn't look over my shoulder. Yeah. And the thing is, too, is, and we did a lot of that. Technically, we could almost split-screen your monitor and maybe play together. Just took my laptop up to the other half of a month. We might be playing Age of Empires together. Right. On the same screen. Right. If not, one could look up to the TV. Oh, my God. It's going to be beautiful. We had a super check. Can we go on and read that for a week right there? Just got to the third boss and dread after Chozo cutscene.  Convinced 4K Switch is a successor, not a pro 4K BT. Breath of the Wild 2. OK. Take your 6N. You want to expand on that? Hold on.  OK. Yep. That's awesome.  I have not watched it yet. I know it went up today. Convinced that 4K Switch is a successor, not a pro. So, he's convinced that whatever is coming is going to be a successor, not a pro model, OK? OK. But 4K Breath of the Wild 2. Well, that's what I'm curious about. What are you talking about there? That'd be awesome. 4K Breath of the Wild 2. Where is this coming from? Because if Breath of the Wild 2 comes next year, are you trying to tell me that Nate the Hates is saying we're going to get the successor next year? Yeah. I mean, that would be... I'm not against that. That's what you mean, anyway. I wonder, so here's my thing. With the Switch Pro or 4K Switch, or whatever the hell we're talking about here, I always wonder, like, let's say it does come next year, which to me would be insane. That would obviously fit with 4K Breath of the Wild 2. To me, I find that all to be insane because that would mean, obviously, that OLED was just a weird stopgap until the next gen. To me, this feels, again, like what I've been suggesting this whole time, that Nintendo's going to do away with traditional generation.  But they're not... Look at the way Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 is going, where everything's backwards compatible with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. To me, this is kind of like what will happen here, where Nintendo will have this next gen platform, but everything that comes on it will still be playable on Switch for the next two years. So, just kind of... Basically, what Xbox and PlayStation are doing are already kind of what I think Switch should do, is where you just don't abandon your old platform. So, it could be their next gen 4K, whatever, Switch next year, but you don't have to rush out and get it because everything on it's gonna also be on the old platforms. What would be weird is, if they do consider it a new generation, would be, this is the second generation in a row that there has not been an exclusive Zelda game. I mean, you could say it links awakening, but again, that was just a remake. Yeah, yeah. Breath of the Wild was cross-gen. Wii U and Switch, if Breath of the Wild 2's cross-gen. Yeah, yeah. I mean, by the way, this isn't a bad thing, but it doesn't make the game any less amazing, but it's also like, we'll never get one completely built from the ground up for any platform? Yeah, right? Kind of weird, but I mean, I'm not complaining, Breath of the Wild is amazing, so. No, absolutely, for sure. Cheers, a lot, Eric, I'll answer this next one here. Let's see here, another question. Remember, Addison, the chat, we have any questions? Um, Eric, this goes from Emerald Gaming, on a one to 100% scale, what are the chances of a Metroid 6? Remember, this is Metroid 5. That's Metroid 5? None, because isn't that supposed to be the last one? So the better question is, will there be another side-scrolling Metroid game? I'm sure there will. Will it be called Metroid 6? No. No. This is the end of the current ongoing storyline in Metroid, so will there be more as long as it sells well? Absolutely. But it won't be Metroid 6. It'll be called something, it'll have Metroid in the name, we call it something else, or they'll go get rid of the numbers entirely. Just like, if you notice, this came out, it's popular, the number's not on here. They called it Metroid 5 when they unveiled it, there's no five on here. So I think they were already setting it up to be like, this is the end of the current saga, and we're just gonna go with named entries moving forward. And it won't technically be Metroid 6, because the Metroid line, Metroid 1 through 5, is over. Do you think they start a new arc, or do you think they're gonna have- Probably, they'll probably start a new arc. Individual game stories in their own games. No, they'll start a new arc. They'll start a new arc. They'll start a new arc. Thanks for subscribing, Peter and Alex, I appreciate it. Let's see here. I don't like the idea of having to buy another Nintendo system, I'm already attached to the Switch. You don't have to. So here's the thing, let's say that for some odd reason, there was a next gen that came next year, which is just insane to me to even think about. I don't think you are looking at this in the correct light. I just got something saying, if they treat this like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, outside of very specific games, there's no reason to necessarily get a next gen platform if you already have a current gen. I'm saying very specific games, because EA is doing weird things like Madden, is a completely different version on new gen versus old gen. So like, you're getting a different experience. So something like that, okay, that's a little strange. Right, that's- But I mean, back for Blood's the same on everything. It just looks prettier on the new systems. Maybe better frame rate. Like, bottom line is, if a new gen switch comes as long as nothing's gonna be exclusive to it for like the first year or two, you don't have to rush to upgrade. You can keep enjoying all of the Nintendo Switch exclusives or Nintendo exclusive games for the next couple of years without worry. This assumes that this is the route Nintendo goes, which by the way, Nintendo has never gone this route. So that's also something to keep in the back of your mind is that even when 3DS came out and was backwards compatible with DS, that's okay. So DS games or 3DS games are completely different. So I just, you know, that is something to keep in the back of your mind that Nintendo's never done this, but Nintendo's also never had a hybrid system before. So there is that. Let's just wait and see what happens. I am very curious. I'm gonna have to listen to the Nate the Hates podcast because I'm very curious what he meant by 4K Breath of the Wild 2. Because to me, that suggests, if that is coming next year, that the new system's coming, right? So everyone's okay. Everyone's fine. Cool, my kids are back to school tomorrow. Have I been engaged to Yulia for 10 years? Ah, no. We have not been engaged for 10 years. We got engaged the first time in October. Kind of weird because it is October. It was October 7th. So long ago, October 7th of 2012. So no, nine years. We've been engaged, but we weren't engaged for the entire nine years. So I would say it's more like six years that we've been engaged. Now you might say, that's crazy. Hey, I'll say this. You know what's crazier? People that get engaged after being together less than a year. And then just rushing to marriage and kids and everything. I don't even know what's gonna happen or any of the drama that's gonna come up. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it does. But divorce rates are super high. Oh, for sure, absolutely. So my thing is, if we would have got married back then, I don't know if we would be together today. We might have been divorced. So I will say this. It was kind of good that we didn't get married when we were planning to. Now we're like both gung-ho said it's happening next year. We're just having a hard time with venues and getting okay from the priest because we're trying to do it on a Sunday, which conflicts with, they don't care about the marriage being on a Sunday. It conflicts with scheduling and mass and everything. So, you know, if you wanna do it at the mass, no, we still wanna be kind of its own separate things. We don't wanna have to force people who might come that aren't religious to have to sit through an hour long mass. And then you tack on another 45 minutes of stuff. So, yeah, there's a whole thing there, but we are working on getting approval for everything. We do have a venue potentially if our date gets approved by the priest. It's expensive, but it's fine. Well, welcome to weddings. Everything's expensive. It's super expensive. I'll tell you the venue later. I don't wanna public it. I don't want people showing up, but yeah.  So, yes, we've been engaged with that. I was never married before. And Eric is not married. No, I am not. Clayton Miller says, you guys think Mario Odyssey 2 will be a thing. What do you think, Eric? I hope so. I had started picking back up when I went out to Rapid City a couple of weeks ago. I picked Mario Odyssey back up when I've completed, I think, 100% of the first four, three or four levels worlds. So, I'm just gonna make it through it. It's a fun game, but haven't got New Donkey yet. Just because it's fun to say. You haven't got the New Donkey yet? No, no. I think it just finished the sands, the desert area. But are you playing it completionist style? Yeah, that's why. But even then, it's been a while, guys, but. I fell out of it for a long while. Because see, here's my thing, like, I look at it, like, when I was younger, I used to do completionist style.  Yeah, no, I get it. So, I got through it quick. I gotta go to Rapid City another two dimes, so. Yeah. Like Dredd, guys, I'm not 100% in Dredd. I'm just telling you that right now. Not because it's super long. It's just, once I beat it, I'm good. I'm ready to move on. Maybe. It could be like Pikmin 3 where it just ends, and you're like, nope, we need more. I think that's probably what's gonna happen, but. You excited for the new Animal Crossing Direct on Friday? Yep. At the moment, I am planning to stream the Direct on Friday, the Animal Crossing Direct. You don't know how I'm gonna react to it. I haven't turned on Animal Crossing in a long time. Let's see here. Do you think there's a possibility that Nintendo's taking a page from Sega's book and make an add-on for the Switch, something like Switch Dock Pro or Switch Dock Plus? No. There are certain limitations with USB-C. They do not have Thunderbolt support, which is definitely needed if you're gonna do a mobile GPU. If you wonder how laptops can use that, like a USB-C port, they're using a Thunderbolt variant of USB-C, which is not capable or currently available on the technology inside Switch. In fact, it's not even possible. I think it's actually exclusive to Intel CPUs. So, no. What you're talking about isn't gonna happen. I know Nintendo had a patent for it at one point. Like, not necessarily a dock, but a supplemental computing device. Having patents is different than actually doing it. And that's saying that it hasn't expired, too. Do you think the Switch Lite with an OLED screen will be a thing? I think eventually. No. No? I don't think so. Move on to whatever's next. Oh, okay. I don't think they're gonna release a new Lite variant. No? At least not of this. The next system, absolutely. I think they're just kinda setting up manufacturing for whatever's next. True, true. I don't think they're worried about, oh yeah, look at the old, I don't think they care right now. I could be wrong, by the way. We have no, by the way, this presumes that Nintendo's even doing a hybrid again.  I have no idea. Maybe we're going back to, I remember getting a 4DS. I have no idea. Oh God, that'd be, did they just omit smells from the thing? Right, like a 4D theater, right?  Let's see here. No, not in the Switch, in the dock. Okay, again, Syke, the Switch would have to work with the dock. Okay. Let me explain something, okay? I wasn't talking about in the Switch, I was talking about in the dock, okay? What you are referring to is called a supplemental computing device, AKA a mobile GPU. It already exists, it's already on the market and you can buy it for a bunch of laptops. But you have to use a Thunderbolt port in order to use it, because they're the only ports that are fast enough to take advantage of a mobile GPU. Okay, it's this little box that you put a desktop GPU in and you can plug it into your laptop. And now, that's not exactly what the dock would be, it probably wouldn't be that big of a box, it would just be a normal dock that has a GPU in it that's better than what's in the Switch. But the Switch still has to interact with that GPU and it interacts with it over USB-C, because that's what the Switch uses. And it uses an ARM Tegra CPU, which does not have the ability to use Thunderbolt. So, no. A mobile dock that has a more powerful GPU in it and interacts with the Switch is not going to exist, at least not in the current form of Switch. It's just not possible with the current technology. Switch is unique. You have to remember, everything is based around that Tegra X1 even in a situation where you put more powerful hardware in a dock. Bottom line is, all the games and everything are running through that Tegra X1 before it gets to that dock.  It's just, it's not happening. Unless there's some new magic technology we're not aware of out in the world that does this beyond Thunderbolt, which hasn't happened anywhere. And if it did exist, I feel like AMD and others would be using it. Yeah. So. Fiber optic lines directly into it. Well, I mean, you want to go better. I mean, yeah. Just straight fiber optics. Yeah, right. God, that dock will be so freaking expensive. Let me see it. I don't even know if that would even work properly with USB-C. When do you think we'll get the N64 expansion update? The update? Yeah. The update itself will probably come. Holiday? Right before Halloween. Right before Halloween? I think it'll drop on the 29th. You think? Yeah. Okay. They said it's gonna be here by the end of the month. Oh, did they? Yeah. Oh, I missed that part. Yeah, yeah, 29th. Okay. I think it'll drop right before Halloween. Fair enough. I missed that part. Give you something to do for people who are staying at home. Probably. And it can be a trick or treat. Yeah. Oh, give me something to play away. Oh, on the flights. Yes. So, if you can't play them online on the flights.  You can buy the internet package. Yeah. Yeah. Damn. Thank you for subscribing. Only Paladin. I appreciate it, man. Can I download on the play-up? No, dammit. Clayton Miller. So the hybrid thing caught all of us off guard. I think it will be a staple going forward just due to the successful nature of it. Yeah. And there's not a lot of competition for Nintendo in the space. There is the Steam Deck, but again, until that becomes something that hundreds of millions of people own, it's not really something that Nintendo needs to worry about. And again, Sony and Microsoft ain't bothering with it. So this really gives Nintendo a space all to themselves to play in. So I don't think they're going to abandon, but I don't know, we have a president right now who's never launched a product. Switch, remember, was the final concept from Satura Awada, and it was launched by Takahashi, and then Takahashi Machizuki. Wait, no, not Takahashi Machizuki. He's the right, whatever. The guy's name was Takahashi, but I can't remember his last name. Anyways, and then it transitioned to Furukawa during the Switch era. So we've never seen Furukawa launch hardware. So I don't know what Furukawa's thinking. I know that he's a shrewd businessman and he cares about money, so abandoning the concept that's really popular would seem anti-money, but I don't know, this is Nintendo. You could cave to Miyamoto who says, hey, what we need are NFC cards that you tap on your phone and that's how you play Nintendo games. I have no idea, okay? Weird things happen. No thanks, please no. And when I say NFCs, of course, I'm also talking about the fact that you could resell them like those damn, oh my God. Guys, record this video clip. I own it. Now I can sell it to somebody digitally. Yeah. Through like, I don't even know, NFTs. Damn, NFTs. Great. Thanks for subscribing, DJR. In a video you talked about Bloom and Nintendo, about dev kits for 4K, my question is since Oopsy from Nintendo has anything else come up from Doom Rig? Nope, nothing else has come up. Oopsy from Nintendo. Oliver G has an interesting question. Okay, what? He says, Nate, how do you find out all this information for the channel? You mean where do I get all my stuff from? Everywhere. Sometimes even TikTok, it's weird. Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Kataku, yes, even Kataku. IGN, other YouTubers sometimes. You know, Digital Founder, Eurogamer, Nintendo everything, Nintendo Life. Used to be, you also go to Nintendo but they don't really do anything anymore. Japanese Nintendo, there's so many places you go directly to Nintendo's Twitter accounts. There's also Gaming and Leaks subreddit on Reddit. There's also the Nintendo Switch Reddit, the Nintendo Reddit, the Nintendo Switch Deals Reddit. There's Wario64 when you got to follow him on Twitter if you want to find out the latest deals. There's a lot of places. Basically, it is possible for anyone out there to discover all the news on their own. I think the value in a channel like mine is that I kind of do that work for you. Now, the thing is I'm still not telling you everything. There's a bunch of news that happens every day around Nintendo that I don't talk about because I only talk about what interests me and what I think might interest you guys.  I really only know what interests me. And I'll just, if I happen to have a video where I've got five, six stories and sometimes I'll throw in a couple of stories I don't care about, but I think other people will. But usually my videos are usually built around one big story or two big stories that I care about. But yeah, there's not really, like if you're looking for like a how to define everything, I have a folder on my Chrome tab which is probably why I haven't left Chrome yet that has 148 places I checked every day, multiple times a day for news. Yeah, his Chrome browser tabs are just. It's insane. God of it. And you really get mad at me. Like, you don't understand.  Yeah. So it's insane. Yeah. Clayton Miller. Oh yeah. Have a drink on me. Don't mind if I do. I already had that one by the end of the month, Matt. Shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot. It's everybody. Ooh, there's a gold flake in here from our old shot of Goldschlager. Nice. Yes. Goldy. Got it down. Just increased my value. Microsoft went down two points. Tentacam. Microsoft just went down two points. Oh, God. Loving that. Yes. It is all gross. Matt Howard says, when is Nintendo 64 coming to Nintendo Switch Online Service? Yeah. It's supposed to be by the end of this month and they're supposed to before then announce the pricing. It's supposed to. We don't know. They could delay it. Yeah. Don't know. We're at like the middle of the month. So soon? Soon? Sometime in the next two weeks, I think it's a pretty safe bet. Soon? It's entertaining gaming news. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There you go. New kid on the block. Right, right, yeah.   Verizon 5G. Verizon 5G.  Instead of Scuba's teeth.  I stepped on you. Yeah. Instead of freaking Scuba's teeth. I can step on my phone. Scuba's teeth.  Oh my god. Anyways, unless you got chat, chat, chat, it's nice. Oh, yeah. I'm already just Q&A, guys. Just ask questions in the chat. We're literally just grabbing questions that are tossed out in the chat. And see, I'm scrolling up. There was a few that we kind of went by. And see here. Will we ever get Mario Galaxy 2 release? Re-release. Re-release. Sorry. Yeah. We can't read. Ouch. I don't really have a reason, because I think it's illogical that we didn't get it packed in with 3D All-Stars. So. But then how do you call it 3D All-Stars? So it's just 3D games. I know. It didn't say there was going to be three games. But you keep with the three and the... Four D All-Stars. Yeah, right. Yeah. Four Ds. Yeah, right. Woo. I've been playing through the entire Metroid series. Hot take. Samus Returns is a dumpster fight. Woo. They love Dread. Zero Mission and Super Metroid. And they finish them too. Cool. I'm not going to touch that one with a... 80-foot. I haven't... Oh, I'm not touching it with your 80-foot point. Where was the dance to accompany the shot from the last Super Chat? I don't... Actually, I think things are set up. You know what? This isn't a normal podcast. I guess I could. Fine. Here you go. Did the computer die? The computer did something. Yes, I'm not answering questions. Did it actually die? I don't know what's going on. It's still on. I noticed. Did the screen finally die? The computer's like 12 years old. I noticed. And like... Might be time to put a Chromebook in here. Yeah. I mean, hold on the power button. Turn on an off again. Yeah, pretty much. And hope it turns back on. Right. The laptop has seen better days. But it even still turned on for E3. No, I know, right? Let me see here. Hey, what do you think of Metroid Case and Controller? I don't know. I haven't seen them. I think I've seen the... Oh, the screen turned on. Oh, yeah. I don't know what happened there. Probably bumped it. Bumped the table. Right. So yeah, I've seen... I think I've seen the Power A controller at the store. But I don't know. It just looks like all the other ones. Who's excited for Nintendo 64 to Nintendo Switch Online? I am. This guy. Not me. But that's okay. This guy. I'll explain why I'm not excited. I don't play old games, so I just don't care. Barely played the SNES and NES and the NES Classic and the SNES Classic. And barely going to touch the N64 and the Genesis. I'd rather worry about what's coming next, not what I've already played. But some people, like Eric, love playing classic games. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I'm a person that goes, Hey, I've played these games like for thousands of hours as a kid. I'm ready to like invest in a new game for thousands of hours. So, like Age of Empires 4 and Back for Blood. And probably that new MMO, New World. I'm actually kind of curious about trying that one out. Might replace my occasional World of Warcraft play. I just kind of not feeling comfortable giving Activision Blizzard more money at the moment. So, that's kind of forcing me to maybe try New World, even though it's from Amazon Games. And I know all about breaking GPUs. It's only 3,000 series GPUs. I guess I'm an AMD user right now. So, I don't got to worry about it. Will the Wii get Just Dance 2023? Maybe. Did they get Just Dance 2022? I don't even know. Possible. Seeing how you're most excited for Breath of Wild 2, I'm guessing Zelda is your favorite franchise or Metroid. Zelda is my favorite franchise. It doesn't mean that I'm always the most excited for a Zelda game. I'm excited for Breath of Wild 2 because Breath of the Wild is my favorite game of all time. But there's been times I've been more excited for other games than whatever the next Zelda game was. Uh, Timmett! Timmett says, How does your channel not have more subs? You're better than Spawn Wave or any other for starters. Shots fired!  Maybe he's at the 2 million mark. I can't keep up. But the line is, I don't think I'm really better than anyway. I think we're all different and we all bring different things. We all have different things that we're good at, different things we're bad at. We have different ways that we inform and or entertain people. Obviously as an example, you're not going to catch Spawn Wave doing shots and dancing on live stream. That's just not who he is. You might catch him posting a buff photo of him with his six pack and the arms the size of a cannon. Social media on a beach because he actually did that. He's obviously really obsessed with working out and that's good for him. Fair enough. So the thing is, everyone's a little different. So I don't like to say that I'm better than anybody or that anybody's better than me. We're just, we're all our own people doing our own things in our own way. Obviously like my videos have a very different look to them. We have a live in person podcast set. I have a TV in the background of all of it. Like my videos use a practical set so there's not a ton of editing. Some videos rely more on editing. Some people like to use green screens. Some people like to have gaming collections behind them.  You know, by beat them up, the way that he does videos is entirely different. He has comedy skits and a bunch of really, really heavy, high quality editing and planning that goes into every video and stuff. I don't. My videos are usually... Alright, time to make a video. Let's go. Sometimes I sit down at this desk, hit record and I have no idea what I'm about to do. That's just how I am. And it shows. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. So yeah, for as we're saying that I deserve more subs, I think everyone on YouTube has exactly the amount of it's subs and attention that they should have. So I've been getting a lot more views lately, a lot more subs, a lot more... Okay, then I must deserve to have that stuff. Or YouTube is just... Or YouTube is just deciding I'm worthy. Deciding you're having more... You are worthy! I'm getting a lot of complaints. People are saying, Oh, it's an Nintendo Prime video, get ready to sit through two ads that you can't skip. For starters, I don't control that. Right. YouTube decides what ads get shown. Two, just know in the back of your mind that hey, those unskippable ads are good for me. Because it means that YouTube moved me up a tier in their advertising scheme. We have higher CPM on the channel right now than at any point in channel history. And it's been that way all year. And I don't know why. I'm just gonna say, thanks, YouTube. It's kind of cool to see like bigger paychecks. Until they come back and... No, that was September. We're not going back to September of 2020. We'll pretend that it never happened. Because it hasn't happened since. YouTube's been kind. But we'll see. So yeah, I get this question all the time where people are saying, You deserve more subs. I don't know why you don't have a million. People I think like me as a person. But in general, my content is rather... I would say rushed. I would say my content has very low editing quality. My content is just what it is. I am who I am. I'm sharing some news with you.  And every now and then I play a video game. Bottom line is, I have exactly the amount of attention that I should have. Let's see here. And I mean, you can always recommend to friends, too. If you think he does deserve more. Compared to other games, it's not really as good. Oh, you're talking about the... The Samus Returns. Yeah. You're not trying to disrespect it. You're just... Hold up, hold up. That didn't sound good when someone else read it. To say, when I read it, I was like, oh, damn. Yeah. Dumpster fire. Well, whenever you... Whenever you claim something because it's a dumpster fire. Right. I mean... Oh, what was that? Crossfire! Oh yeah, yeah. Nice. That hasn't... I haven't seen that in forever. Oh God, I haven't thought about that. I still haven't. You mentioned that we can get the eShop on our phones, etc. Is it available? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not what I said. I said you could log into the eShop on your Nintendo Switch through your phone. And so you're confused about that. Sorry. That is what I was talking about. You used to not be able to do that. You used to always have to type the password on your Switch. Now you can scan a QR code and log into it on your phone, which will log you into it on your Switch. That was a new thing that I added recently. And never announced it. Why? Nintendo love a girl. I don't have that anymore. I don't have that now. I'm dang it. How are you? I am good. No? It's been a crazy week, but good. Timothy says the OLED teardown video has good editing. Better I paid someone to do it. There is also that. That's like the only video I think on my channel that I've ever paid anyone to edit it. Like ever. Literally, I have thousands of videos on my channel. Only when I paid someone to edit it. Yeah, it does have good editing. Mason Conrad. Shout out. Go check him out on Twitter.  Just type Mason Conrad. He'll do thumbnails. He'll do video editing.  He's awesome. And his editing is amazing. And I can't afford to have him edit my videos. Let's just say that one video costs significantly more than the amount of money that video made. And I just... Yeah, it is what it is. I appreciate it. I don't know if it really saved me time because there was so much trouble getting him the files. But, either way. Yeah, of course that video was great. I would love to have an actual editor all the time. I just don't make enough money to support myself, let alone an editor. The crossfire most overjoyed commercial ever. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I may have been a bit harsh, but I'm just salty. It's not bad. I see value. I'm personally not enjoying it. That's alright. Let's see here. Did you see the iFixit turn on the OLED and how they were the screen? Yeah, so I didn't think about that. So I couldn't get the screen hot enough. But they did something weird. It wasn't the suction cup thing. I already knew about that. They had a heating pad. Now, I don't know what temperature this heating pad is up to. I have no idea where they got this heating pad from. Maybe it's something I can look up on Amazon. But it made it look really easy. They had a heating pad that they set it down on, the whole screen, and then they lifted up and they used the suction cup and they were even surprised that it came off. Ooh, another thing you could have did. That's something that I might get for a future. If I hear Nintendo, Nintendo's next system is going to be another hybrid with a screen that I might want to take out for you guys, I will look into investing in getting one of those heating pads that they had, because I don't have that. You could probably do a bag of rice. Throw it in the microwave. Get it really warm. Just drop it on the screen. We're not... I mean... No. I kept thinking... I mean, if we want to just make this the most ghetto thing ever. I'd rather kind of... I'm trying to up the professionalism, not up the ghettoism. It's up the ghettoism.  Why not? Mmm, juicy. Erick, what's the most overhyped product ever? I mean, Power Glove has to... What's the most overhyped product ever?  I only saw him in commercials. I never actually saw him in person. I never even knew you could buy him back then. Power Glove was always like a joke that was in Nintendo Power, but again, never saw him in person. So, literally, it was never at any store in my area. I've seen one at a pawn shop a long while back. What do they want for it? I don't remember, but... If it's anything under a hundred bucks, I'd grab that one. I'd just wear it on my videos. Thanos Power. I can answer that one. Do you see Metroid Dread-winning Game of the Year? I can answer that one for you because I know you've already told me. One of the first things on your mouth was, this is Game of the Year material. Yeah, he asked me today on a phone call. He was like, hey, so I'm just curious. What do you think about Metroid Dread? I'm like, Game of the Year? Yeah. It was like the first thing that came out of my mouth was Game of the Year. I don't know if it's going to win Game of the Year, but I mean, damn, it's basically perfection. I can't think of anything they could have done to this game. You could say, oh, make it longer. But then there's a point that this kind of gameplay can get a little too much if it's longer. So it's like, it's literally perfect. I can't think of one thing at this point. I don't give 10s to games. I don't even give Breath of the Wild a 10. And it's my favorite game of all time. I'm not saying I enjoy this game more than Breath of the Wild because I enjoy the kind of game Breath of the Wild is more. But for the genre and the style of this game is, I literally think this game is perfect. And I never said that about a game before. Wow. So, damn. Damn. That's hyper. No, I haven't beat it yet. So once I beat it, maybe I'll think a little different about the ending, but up to the point I am in the game, it's like perfection. What games are games that are releasing from now to end of the year? Are you each most excited for? From now to the end of the year? Age of Empires 4? That's the big one that stands out to me that I'm most excited for. I was back for blood for me, but... Let's go now. Yeah, I know. Let me see. Besides that, I mean, yeah, there's Shimagawa Tensei 5. Don't know. I'm not really big into Shimagawa Tensei, so I'm not sure that I'm even going to pick that up. We'll see. There is, you know, Advanced Wars 1-2 Reboot is pretty hype. Obviously Halo Infinite. We'll probably be playing at least trying it out because we have Game Pass, so why not? Both have next-gen Xboxes, so we might as well play it. Yeah, for sure. So yeah, there's a few... There's a handful. I'm not like... There's not like a one-game... Well, besides the Age of Empires 4. There's not one game that I'm sitting here like, oh man, I really can't wait. Like, every day I'm getting more hype for it. Like, I would be, you know, whatever, because Dreads already came out, so I'm good with that. The Mario Party game is probably going to be great, but we'll see. I'm kind of, you know... Yeah.  I'm playing wait and see now with any of these sort of side games. Unless it's a Mario Kart. At that point, I don't consider Mario Kart a side game. It's one of the biggest IPs in the world. So yeah, I'm just going to kind of wait. So Age of Empires 4, I guess, is probably my most anticipated game the rest of this year. Because I love real-time strategy games. And Age of Empires is like one of the OGs. So we'll see. I hope they didn't mess it up. Well, the footage looks really good. But we'll see if the game... Yeah, no, for sure. I would agree on that one. Although, King's Bounty 2. What? The game's already out, isn't it? Is it? I don't know. I just happen to see it. It looks like something that we would like. Yeah, oh yeah, we would. Oh, it came out in August. Yeah. Huh. Yeah, I haven't played that yet. That's been on my Tobias list on PC for a while. I just haven't picked it up yet. Is that a game that we would play the heck out of? Oh, yes. Yes, we would. Yeah. Yes, we would. I just haven't picked it up yet. It's literally been on my Tobias list for a little while. I'm trying to wait for like a down period where I actually can game for like a few days and then... Pinch game? Yeah. Yeah, right. Just wait for it. Bayonetta's going to step aside from Metroid. What? Or they can just both be... Bayonetta's behind me. Why would she have to step aside now? That just makes sense. Well, that and... Or both games could just be good. Be awesome. Yeah. Yeah. They don't even come around the same time. Great. I don't know what's going on with that. I don't know if that didn't make any sense. What? Hold on. There's some... Is this drama in the chat? Hold on. Is Guardians coming out this year too? Hold on. What would this guy say?  He's never wrong and there's always an excuse. Are you the same guy that's like on my Twitter that I block? I don't really block and muted you so I can't see your face anymore. Well, yeah. Guardians is coming out this month too. He's never wrong and there's always an excuse. I never thought I was right. I obviously did the screen wrong. It broke. I... Obvious is obvious. I clearly didn't take... He's talking about the screen because we were talking about the moment like how I fixed it. Yeah. And I said, yeah, that was really cool. I never thought about trying that. That's cool. I should get that and do it the next time. Isn't that me admitting that I obviously did it wrong?  Clearly I didn't do it right. No, no, it was perfect. No, I'm amazing. Absolutely perfect. It was everyone else's fault that I broke the screen. Yep. Just because I can explain why the screen broke doesn't mean it's not my fault for breaking the screen.  I mean, if you were my other friend, Kyle, it would have been my fault somehow. He would have found some way to blame me. It's Eric's fault. Yeah. It's my fault. It's my fault. I wasn't here. He wasn't here when I did it. He would have called me a dumbass, hit me with a baseball bat. Oh, for sure. Then I would have woke up and I would have been done. I said, how do you do this? And it would have been like, I didn't. I took it to the store and paid someone else to do it. Right. I clenched it between my butt cheeks. And it just popped apart. I just pulled. I just had that stronger butt cheek because it is. What games are the games are really seen? Oh, you've already read that one. Let's see here. A lot of you seem to think Dread is too hard. You know, it's funny about Dread.  When you beat Dread, it unlocks a hard mode. We've been used to this with Zelda and a lot of other Nintendo games. So there's an even harder mode. The game doesn't get easier. It gets harder. If people think it's too hard, A, never played a Metroid game. B, never played a Metroidvania game. C, never played a Castlevania game. And at the end of the day, they just might not be into this kind of game. This genre is difficult. That is what makes this genre appealing.  Platformers, as an example. We can talk about how there's platforming perfection and things like Super Mario 64 that it takes like an expert to do. But the bottom line is, everyone feels like they can do it. And everyone can beat the game. Metroid Dread is a difficult game. It's not the most difficult game.  When people want their hands held, that's just not the genre. Metroidvania games are not hand-holding games. So, again, this is where I feel like it's not going to be for everyone. But it's not supposed to be. Right. So, if you expect it to be a hand-holding experience, there's like a billion games for you to play besides this one. So if you're someone who likes that, quote, what was the super chat? Just, there was no words, just fist bumps. Who is it? Rick Stains. Thank you, Rick Stains, for the console. Thanks, man. Deion Kirk wants to know, they say that their OLED pre-order has been indefinitely delayed by Walmart. They're wondering if they should wait it out or try their luck with GameStop or Target. I would wait it out. And let me explain why. What happened is, Walmart allowed more pre-orders than units received. So, if you wait it out, Walmart will eventually get you one in one of their next shipments, which they should be getting at least one shipment per week, pending obviously any shipment delays. So, you could try your luck. I mean, if you have the money, you could say, keep your Walmart pre-order, but try to get it at other places and then cancel Walmart if you get the other ones. So, if you don't have the money, because this might be a situation where, if I don't cancel that order, I can't afford it. That's a tough one. I would say keep the guaranteed order you have because you're not guaranteed to get it anywhere else. Walmart, just talk to their customer support and they'll let you know if they think you should get a refund. You can obviously get it refunded. That's not a question, but the question is, should you wait? And Walmart will be pretty honest. Walmart customer support is actually pretty honest with you when you ask them, hey, are you going to actually fill this order? Yeah, they probably will. I know it's a bit of a tough one and I feel bad because not only did I get one early, I had two other pre-orders and both of them arrived on time. So it's kind of like, I don't know. I didn't have a problem, but I'm not everyone. Great. I have more questions we got, you think? Two. Two? Two, two. You're playing hard mode and it feels easier. Yeah, I think that's just because once you beat the game and you unlock that mode, your skill level at the game is increased to a point that when you restart the game in hard mode, it doesn't feel as hard as it did when you first started playing because your skill level in the game is so much higher. What I have recorded that I'm going to show in the video because I don't want to show any of the later stuff and spoil anything, it's going to look like I'm not very good at Metroid Dread. I'm significantly better at Metroid Dread right now than I was four days ago. But the thing is, I don't want to show you the footage from now because it might spoil things. So that's what happens is like now, if I restarted Dread even on a harder mode, I would still feel like I'm significantly ahead of where I start. Also, the fact that just from you saying that it's unlocked after you beat the game, you already know to a certain extent what's coming. They may change a couple of things up, but you have a good idea of what's coming next so you can anticipate more. You can be ready for other things. So that might be also another playing factor into what might be. Hello, Seth. In my opinion, Dread looks good and it looks like it plays good, but it doesn't look good. I would say... But they haven't played it. Yeah, I would say one. That already makes your opinion almost not quite invalid. It's an opinion. You'll have to have it. So the opinion is... Yeah, looks like it plays well. Yeah, looks like a great game, but it doesn't look game of the year. Here is why they say that. It's a 2D side scrolling platform. It doesn't look like God of War. It doesn't look like Breath of the Wild. It doesn't look like these other games that win game of the year. By the way, Hades was a game-winning game of the year. There was a top-down 2D-ish perspective. I'm sorry. My thing is, people are too quick to judge a book by its cover. The kind of game this is, the side-scrolling nature of it, makes people automatically lower the tier of game it is for some odd reason. Which makes no sense, because this is the tier of gaming that we grew up on as children. At least us, we did. Yeah. Maybe not you. So the thing is, yes, obviously 3D, open world, all this stuff is wonderful, but that's not the only way to game and game in very high quality. Metroid Dread. I'll just say it right now. It's better than Metroid Other M.  I'll throw it around. This might be controversial. Metroid Dread is better than National Chain. Metroid Dread is better than Mario Odyssey. Mario Odyssey was up for some game of the years. Might even be better than Breath of the Wild, to be honest. But I just enjoy the kind of game Breath of the Wild this more. So, yeah, I don't know. This is just, it's all personal preference. I can't fault you for looking at it and going, ah, that can't be game of the year. I can't fault you for that. That's your personal preference. But I don't look at games that way. Hollow Knight has just as much of an ability to be game of the year as Horizon. Or as a Zelda game. One question we've already covered. When's the last time a 2D side scroller won a game of the year since the year 2000? Let's see. That's what I was trying to figure out. But literally, the first thing that came to my mind was Hollow Knight back in 2017. Let's see here. It did win a bunch of awards. It did not win a game of the year award. What's another side scroller that's really highly rated? I'm trying to think. I haven't played all of them. I hate these comes to mind, and that won some game of the year awards, but that's on a side scroller, technically. Are we talking from the game award? No, just in general, anywhere. Best side scroller game. Let's see here. I have Shovel Knight's one. That one, I think? I'm just thinking outside my head. Won Best Indie Game, but that's not the same thing. And again, it may not win a game of the year, but it could be nominated. It won Best Debut Game. It won Best Indie Game, Best Original Game. I don't think Donkey on Travel will freeze one. It's been a while.  Why do I forget Dead Cells? I'm going to look up the exact awards Dead Cells won. Dead Cells won a shitload of awards. God, I can't believe I totally forgot about Dead Cells. Dead Cells is amazing. Celeste? Yeah, look up Celeste too. Dead Cells. Because Dead Cells is literally the same style, like the same metrivania. So a reception. It won Best Indie Game at the Golden Joystick Awards. Game of the Year 2018 for Celeste. It won Best Action Game, Best Independent Game, Best Music Score, Excellence in Gameplay Award. So that one never won, but Celeste won Game of the Year? 2018, apparently. Maybe that's why this one didn't get it. So Celeste. I believe. Unless it was only nominated. Hold on. Awards. Nominated. IMBD has the awards. Believe it or not. Oh, wow. Of all places. So it won Best Game. It won Best Game at the BAFTA Awards in 2019. Okay. It won Game of the Year at the Game Developer Choice Awards as well. And it was... Yeah, so I mean, I don't know. It was a nominee for Game of the Year at the Game Awards in 2018. Ah, okay. Yeah, so I mean, look, obviously you can sit there and argue that it's not very often that games like this are up for Game of the Year. But it does happen. I mean, even like, so like Celeste nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards. Dead Cells nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards. And I guarantee you Metroid Dread will be nominated for multiple Game of the Year awards. Will they win any? Yeah, will Metroid Dread win any? I have no idea. It is Game of the... It is worthy of being nominated. Yeah, but it's worthy of being nominated. Like Celeste was nominated for a Crapple of the Game of the Year awards.  Like, I know you're talking about, you know, when's the last time it won? Okay, yeah, but when's the last time they've been worthy? Actually, quite recently Celeste and Dead Cells were both worthy of Game of the Year nominations. So, yeah, I would say this genre still can produce Game of the Year type games. And as for Metroid Dread, it's kind of lucky a little bit that it's releasing in the year that it is. It's been a bit of a light year. What other Game of the Year nominees would I even consider at the exact moment right now?  I think it's gonna rank ahead of that. Most of PlayStation 5's games were delayed. I think it's gonna rank ahead of Returnal for sure. There's still some big games that come out this holiday, but sometimes those games don't make it into the awards because they come out too late.   It's been a bit of a light year for those Game of the Year kind of games, which perfectly opens the door for Metroid Dread, a game that would have been nominated anyways, to win. Now we'll see. Obviously, we'll see at the Game Awards and Back to Awards and Game Developers Conference and Golden Joystick and everyone else. Will it win some awards? Absolutely. It'll probably win the best Nintendo game. Maybe. I don't know. Should we go with Tentsy 5? One more really, really quick one for you. When do you think Splatoon 3 will come out? Summer. June next year. Because people are saying maybe holiday. June. June? Okay. Cool. Hold Your Horses Sonic Mania should have been considered. Yeah, Sonic Mania was really good too. That was the best Sonic game we've had in the hell of a long time. All right. Well that's going to do it. I know it's super short guys. Sorry. I have a League Madden game to go to. So if you want to continue chatting with me or Eric, you absolutely can. Just head on over to twitch.tv.nintendoprimeTV. I know lots of TVs in there. It is what it is. twitch.tv.nintendoprimeTV. And I will be streaming over there in a little bit playing Madden in my League and playing my week one game. We'll see. I don't think week two is going to happen yet but I think we advance to week two tomorrow. Anyways, thanks for tuning in. Thanks. Peace out. Bam.
