    Pokemon Legends Z-A is a spinoff title, this is the 2nd game in this spinoff series where it takes place in Luminos City which is the biggest Pokemon city and within the Kalos region (Pokemon X/Y). We are speculating it takes places immediately after the great war where we have to rebuild the city since the great war destroyed everything. Zygarde will play an important role in some way just based on how the Z was made with the logo.
    Kalos has the best lore by far in the entire city so this game has a ton of hype behind it with its announcement. Followed up by the Unova region (Pokemon Black/White / Black2/White2) which also has the best story in the whole series.
    You should give Pokemon Legends Z-A a try Rob, you would like this a lot more than the main series since this is also made with an older audience in mind. It still has turned based combat, but done differently than the main Pokemon series - everything else is structured very differently.

    I can safely say I totally agree with like, everything you say.
    Like, when you mention sales being slowed down, I think it’s worth keeping in mind that the first half of 2024 when we got those numbers, it was a lot slower of a year without much of any big first party releases. Maybe the second half of the year, especially with as big a seller as Mario Party is likely to be, will pick up. Of course, I mostly say this since I saw radical Switch 2 reveal fans looking at those sales numbers and crying out “OH, NINTENDO *NEEDS* TO REVEAL SWITCH 2 NOW OR THEY’RE GONNA DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AS A COMPANY!” Maybe not to that exaggerated of a response, but you get my point.
    But to the rest of the video, I definitely agree. Like, I was never super confident in September, even if I did consider it possible. And sure, when the rumors came around, I was thinking it was likely, but never outright a guarantee. I do think October is very plausible, though. But I’m also willing to consider the curve balls they could throw. Maybe we get an OCTOBER Direct for Switch 1. Maybe we get nothing and wait until November, December, or even January or February. Nintendo is an incredibly unpredictable company.
    I do think October is the safest bet, but I’m not gonna put all my eggs in one basket. Especially not with Nintendo at the wheel.

I once told as "RaidChaser 443": "Now IS NOT the time for outselling" 2 years earlier. Kicking Sony OUT of the gaming industry in the SAME way Sega,Panasonic(3DO),Atari got tossed is going to be quite IMPOSSIBLE for Nintendo to do with a new console...(Sony WILL counter with PS6 a YEAR after Nintendo launches this IN JAPAN,where consoles appear in that area FIRST,2 years internationally in all other countries.)

    We did get a direct though, it was just early this year.
    The Nindie Direct was a little later, and the partner showcase was the September Direct shown early.
    I am starting to think the day before the Museum opens will be a special presentation or reveal teaser of the new console, and people can see the new console at the museum when it opens the next day. This would be a brilliant move to really push people's awareness of the Nintendo Museum (which looks really fun to go to, way more interested in this than the theme park).
    Tokyo Game Show is not usually in the last week of September either.
    This game plan was instead of trying to do one giant September direct, split it up into Nindie (usually in August), Museum, and Partner Directs with the possible of doing something for October as well which is the grand opening to the Nintendo Museum.

    Metroid Prime 4 will come out BEFORE June 2025, 100%.
    Switch exclusives we got Pokemon Legends Z-A, Metroid Prime 4, and Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma. These are all out first half 2025, though the Pokemon Legends is up in the air.
    If any game were to be made for two consoles to take advantage of the new controller features it would only be Pokemon Legends Z-A which is a big enough IP to sell a brand new generation console.
    Even as a Pokemon spinoff, Pokemon Legends Z-A could potentially be the very first Pokemon game to ship day one of a brand new console - alongside Mario Kart 8 More Deluxe being out day one - with Big 3D Mario for the Holiday, and for the sandwich filling in-between releases could be ARMS 2, new Fire Emblem, and a Monolithsoft game (either a brand new story Xenoblade game or a new IP entirely), plus the more than likely Ubisoft exclusive that heavily utilizes the new controller on the next console.
    This would be a pretty good 2025 line up for a console launch. Pokemon is very iffy and maybe we see some crazy new concept for either Star Fox, F-Zero, or Donkey Kong and all three games make an appearance in the opening 2025 year if a March 2025 console release is real; completely different story if we get a March 2026 console release - except Mario Kart day 1 and 3D Mario for holiday be unchanged.

      They will do cross gen for at least 2 years. You can't ignore 150 million+ (march 2025) users at this stage when the Switch will be Nintendos most sold System passing even the DS, attacking the PS2's 158,7 Million.

    I’m going pretty solid on Oct being the reveal. Rinse and repeat of the switch. Why change that formula? Oct 11 or 18 I think. But agreed on the brothership piece, it’s a Mario game and a backwards compatible game

    If there no reveal neither October nor November, then the reveal may happen at The Game Awards that if Geoff Keighley will want to ask Nintendo if they want to reveal the system in December

    Will Nintendo lower the price of Switch after the Switch 2 reveal, that would signal to me a January reveal because holiday bundles are already announced. Or Switch 2 will be 150 dollars more and that would suggest a before holiday reveal not harm8ng the holiday value proposition for original Switch.

    I'm confident that we will see the Switch successor in the coming weeks. Let Nintendo do their thing. They'll prolly got something going behind the scenes.
