Okay so we’ve got some big updates when it comes 
to the Nintendo Switch 2 and some Xbox games that   are going to be coming to the platform this 
is something that we know was kind of coming   because Phil Spencer has been adamant about 
supporting the Nintendo Switch 2 but it seems   like it’s going to be happening more sooner 
than later now we’ve seen Microsoft come out   and already support the Nintendo Switch One with 
games like Pentiment in addition to Grounded but   some people are looking for some of the other big 
games notably Halo Master Chief Collection that   seems to be a hot one that people are throwing 
out there or even Forza Horizon 5 which recently   launched on the PlayStation 5 two huge success 
million plus copies sold so definitely Microsoft   is doing well over there but I do think that 
it looks like it’s time potentially even at an   upcoming Nintendo Direct that we could be hearing 
about some announcements or even just closer once   the Nintendo Switch 2 actually launches something 
could happen because we’ve got dual reports now   from two separate places that something could 
be happening soon the Verge is Tom Warren who’s   really good at reporting Microsoft stuff overall 
what Microsoft is doing so I do think that what   his report is saying here is accurate because he 
states that in a new article Microsoft is also   working on some Xbox ports for Nintendo Switch 2 
which I expect we’ll hear about soon so you have   that coming obviously once again we don’t know 
what those ports are going to be but it does seem   like something’s going to be happening pretty soon 
here i think once the Nintendo Switch 2 actually   launches and then we get into the first wave of 
games and some of the other titles you want to   make sure that you spread out some of these game 
releases or you have it for maximum impact at a   Nintendo Direct so I do expect some of Microsoft’s 
games to be announced at a Nintendo Direct because   Pentiment and Grounded were also announced at a 
Nintendo Direct with the bump in horsepower and   specs for the Nintendo Switch 2 i do expect maybe 
even Sea of Thieves that game can come over to the   Nintendo Switch 2 as well already on PlayStation 
did really well there so there’s a number of   games there’s even been rumors about Starfield 
that’s actually been rumored multiple times   when it comes to that game coming over so maybe 
Starfield comes over maybe Fable in the future   that’s a game that I think could do really well on 
the Nintendo Switch 2 because of the RPG nature of   the game so I do think that it is happening soon 
here we’re starting to hear multiple reports now   the other report is coming from Nate the hate 
Nate Drake you guys know him he’s been very   accurate on a number of things and this was under 
a post that was on Twitter where someone talked   about Ninja Theory bringing over Senua Saga 
Hellblade 2 to the PlayStation 5 that’s been   confirmed recently announced it’s an enhanced 
edition and then now Nate the Hate says “Next   up Xbox games coming to Switch 2” underneath that 
post so yeah looks like more reports are coming   in more people are saying that it’s going to be 
happening more sooner than later some people are   even talking about potentially Gears of War stuff 
like that i think Gears of War the Remastered I   think that game’s definitely going to come over 
as well so yeah definitely looking good so far   when it comes to Xbox supporting Nintendo Switch 
2 once again Phil Spencer did say that they’re   going to be doing that and this is pretty much the 
next evolution of what Microsoft is doing they’re   going to be yes they are a console platform like 
Valve has like the Steam Deck but that doesn’t   mean that they’re exclusive right microsoft is 
going to full third-party but still making their   own content so they would just want to become 
the biggest publisher and still have hardware   out on the market that’s what they’re looking 
to do now I do think that their console sales   are obviously tanking because of this approach 
but their software sales have been significantly   rising because they’re selling millions of 
copies of these games on PlayStation and now   soon to be the Nintendo Switch 2 plus they also 
sold millions of copies of Minecraft that’s been   doing great on Nintendo platforms but Grounded 
and Pentiment have also done okay as well so the   fact that you’re just putting all of this stuff 
out there I think Microsoft will actually become   the biggest publisher if they’re not already 
there when it comes to the sheer amount of   games that they’re putting out and revenue kind of 
coming in from those select games so it looks like   the Nintendo Switch 2 is going to have a wide 
variety of software not only from Nintendo and   third parties but also Microsoft throwing their 
former I guess first party type of games or their   published games behind the Nintendo Switch too so 
that should be fun to see but before we get into   the next topic please make sure you hit that like 
button and subscribe to the channel if you’re not   subscribed already especially if you’re looking 
for the best Nintendo Switch 2 content we’re going   to have a ton leading up to the launch and of 
course afterwards and also click that notification   bell to get my vids as soon as they drop as 
we’re dropping new content pretty much daily   on the channel all right let’s get into the next 
topic here guys and we’re going to discuss what is   going on with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong because 
we did get some redesigns when it comes to Donkey   Kong that people have been talking about and we 
also got a slight redesign for Diddy Kong so let’s   check that out as well but also Mr miiamoto talked 
to IGN recently about the redesigns of Donkey Kong   and IGN asked this first about the redesign you 
created Donkey Kong on pieces of paper he’s your   baby donkey Kong 94 you were a producer on that 
it was one of the first times he became more   expressive he’s back with a new game he’s got a 
new design what’s it like seeing that character’s   new design now and seeing the character grow up 
with you miiamoto responded with this so when   it comes to character creation and working with 
characters I still take an active role in that   and looking back to the first generation Donkey 
Kong Country we worked with Rare to create Donkey   Kong Country when we were talking about trying 
to create new versions evolving Donkey Kong we   created the game called Jungle Beat we worked 
together with the team that made 3D Mario with   the technology that was available at the time we 
were able to make Donkey Kong more expressive and   going back to the design that Rare came up with 
we re-evaluated what can we do with the design   to make it more expressive and then when it comes 
to the movie we decided to move forward with this   new generation Donkey Kong design so essentially 
they redesigned him so they could make him more   expressive and kind of fit in line with the movie 
and I think it makes complete sense overall from   what they’ve shown same thing goes with what they 
showed off with Diddy Kong as well we’ve got some   nice quality renders of that and Diddy Kong looks 
really good they pretty much did the Donkey Kong   Returns poses from the cover of that game they 
redid those with the new designs and it looks   great diddy looks more expressive donkey Kong 
looks more expressive and the great thing about   this is that you see that expression in Donkey 
Kong Bonanza anytime Donkey Kong punches something   he rips something off from the ground he falls he 
hits his head on something whatever happens that   expressiveness is more vivid and more live than 
ever than any of his previous games and I think   that with this game Donkey Kong Bonanza it’s 
going to fall in line with what we saw with the   movie the movie Donkey Kong was incredibly strong 
he was completely boppinging people overall and   that’s what you’re doing in Donkey Kong Bonanza i 
think that the new expressions in addition to the   game that we’re getting with him it melds and it 
fits way better for this new generation of Donkey   Kong and I cannot wait to see how it goes forward 
i’m hoping that Bonanza does really well i’m not   sure if they want to turn this into a series like 
the Donkey Kong Country games or like what they’ve   done before with Donkey Kong Country Returns than 
Tropical Freeze but I do think that Bonanza has   a really cool gameplay hook and there’s way more 
that they haven’t even shown i did get some people   ask me is it just destroying things or ripping 
stuff off from the ground but no if you check   out the actual debut trailer you see like there’s 
still mine carts and there’s still 2D levels and   other things that you’re going to be doing going 
through barrels and stuff so there’s going to   be more elements that they’re not talking about 
not at this point but I think that we could get   another big Nintendo Direct that maybe talks about 
it more before the July release or even a direct   focus on Donkey Kong Bonanza as well so that’d be 
pretty fun or just more like an overview trailer i   think any of those are possible before the launch 
of Donkey Kong Bonanza but I love what they’re   doing so far with the expression and the new look 
of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as an old school fan   i was playing since the beginning Donkey Kong 
originally when it comes to the arcade game and   everything and I play Donkey Kong Country i’ve 
played pretty much every single Donkey Kong game   and beat almost all of them so I’m a big fan and 
I cannot wait to play Donkey Kong Bonanzan i think   it’s going to be a ton of fun as well now let’s 
go and move on to the next topic here guys and   we’re going to be discussing what’s going on with 
Rayman because it looks like Rayman is back in it   but for a big budget game what’s going on with 
Ubisoft here big budget Rayman game it’s been um   a decade plus since they’ve been funding anything 
to do when it comes to a big game with Rayman in   it so let’s talk about this so Ubisoft Milan is 
apparently hiring for this big budget brand new   Rayman game and it looks like they’re looking for 
a senior game designer and a 3D gameplay animator   now we don’t know how far along the development is 
in at this point or anything but I can only guess   that the Nintendo Switch 2 absolutely inspired 
them to make a 3D big Rayman game one of the   big inspirations for them to even have Rayman 
Legends and to bring Rayman back in that way   and Rayman Origins was the Nintendo systems the 
Wii and then of course the Wii U was an exclusive   before the sales fell off of a cliff and they 
decided to make it multiplatform but that’s fine   it was built for the Wii U first and foremost and 
I do think that the Nintendo Switch 2 probably   inspired them to maybe make something because 
of the upgraded specs because of the rapport   that Rayman has done on the Nintendo Switch one in 
addition to the Wii U how it sold i think it sold   definitely best or better on the Nintendo platform 
so I do think that a big budget 3D Rayman or a big   3D Rayman game on Nintendo Switch 2 and of course 
other platforms as well but headlining that for   Switch 2 that would be incredible especially if it 
was announced like at a Nintendo Direct for great   exposure as well that’s something that I would 
love to see i played Rayman Legends back on the   Wii U and the Nintendo Switch it’s a fantastic 
game i even played on the Xbox One as well i   played Rayman Origins i’ve played the old school 
games as well and I’ve always been I would say not   the biggest fan of Rayman but a fan of Rayman i 
think the games are good is not my favorite when   it comes to platforming games and stuff like that 
but it’s still a ton of fun whenever you play the   Rayman games and Rayman Legends is one of the best 
2D platformers of all time so to see them working   on a big 3D game I think probably using the power 
of the Nintendo Switch 2 the hybrid nature and   everything I think that’s going to be really cool 
to see it back in 3D for the first time in decades   we haven’t had a new 3D Rayman game since like 
what the sixth generation or something like that   so yeah that would be pretty exciting too but I’m 
guessing it’s still a little bit off but we’ll see   when they actually announce something like this 
but definitely exciting to see that Rayman is   coming back in some way shape or form with a big 
brand new game all right let’s get into the last   topic here guys we’re going to talk about another 
interesting Nintendo Switch 2 launch title and   that is Fast Fusion we’ve got some tech specs for 
the game overall with resolution and frame rate   and it’s very interesting in terms of how they’ve 
actually talked about this and it’s got some   people confused so I definitely want to clear that 
up as well when it comes to the tech specs which   we will once we get through it so let’s just start 
off with the Fast Fusion performance modes we’ve   got docked and handheld so in the performance 
mode it’s going to be 1080p 60 frames per second   with HDR balanced 1440p 60 frames per second with 
HDR quality mode is mixed 4K 1080p with 60 frames   per second HDR menus and HUD overlays in 4K so 
interesting docked mixed performance there overall   with 4K overlays but 1080p gameplay might get you 
the best of both worlds overall if you’re trying   to test out some 4K elements but then also have 
that smooth gameplay as well next up is the ultra   quality mode this is all docked 4k 30 frames per 
second with HDR super sharp visuals ultra level of   detail ultra quality 4K/8K shadow maps so that’s 
the thing that kind of trip people up was the 8K   shadow maps we’re going to talk about that in just 
a bit handheld mode we’ve got performance 1080p   60 frames per second with HDR ultra quality is 
1080p 30 frames per second HDR with ultra level of   detail ultra quality 4K/8K shadow maps so this is 
all great obviously Shannon they’ve done a great   job with their game the performance it’s going 
to be rock solid no 120 frames per second mode   but they did state that they are already working 
on more content for the game so maybe that comes   in an update with new content you also get 120 
frames per second mode as well so that’d be pretty   cool so I wanted to get into that because some 
people were kind of confused with what Shannon   is talking about when it comes down to this and 
shout out to my man Nate Drake once again and he   actually cleared this up on his direct feed games 
Twitter account where he said that Shinnen are   the masters of what they do but there was a ton 
of misunderstanding around the mention of 4K/8K   shadow maps we had HD textures switch One can 
load 16K textures by doing 8K shadow maps they   will look detailed on a 4K display it has nothing 
to do with the power or output so just keep that   in mind guys some people were kind of going 
nuts with that saying “Oh my gosh you can do 8K   is actually 8K game no it’s not doing that guys 
it’s not doing that at all it’s just like the   textures and then of course the downsampling 
or it’s just like nothing to do with that it’s   just what they originally load into there so 
just keep that in mind it’s going to make the   game look really clean though the game’s going to 
look really clean depending on what setting you   want to play it on obviously they have mixed 
4K and 1080p they have a 1440p 60 frames per   second mode while docked i think that might be a 
pretty good mode to play at standard the balanced   i’m not really sure what’s going on here though 
because the performance mode is 1080p 60 frames   per second with HDR the balanced mode docked is 
1440p 60 frames per second with HDR so like it’s   the same so you might as well just play if you 
have a TV that can do 1440p might as well just   play in the balance mode so you can get that extra 
bit of resolution there because everything else is   supported but hopefully there’s no issues overall 
different things when it comes to the balance but   looks like balance and performance are fine i 
think the handheld mode it makes it pretty easy   on what to play at with 1080p 60 frames per second 
whereas the ultra quality that’s going to be 30   frames per second with this type of game like 
F-Zero style racing game you want to be able to   play that in 60 frames so Shannon are great they 
know what they’re doing with the performance this   game supports a plethora of features even game 
share as well so we’ll be covering it as we get   closer and closer to the launch but what do you 
guys think about all the different topics that we   discussed here when it comes to Fast Fusion and 
more Xbox games coming to Nintendo Switch let me   know in the comment section below all right guys
