Nintendo Will be having a Nintendo Direct on Thursday March 8th at 2 PM PT/ 5 PM ET! Let’s go over my plans. Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy confirmed for the US to be digital only and the Nintendo Switch’s first year sold 3x the amount of the PS4’s first year in Japan!

I'm sure their going to announce Mario and Luigi Rpg3 Bowser inside story 3ds
I was like, why would they focus on the 3DS as well? And then i thought… SINNOH REMAKE INCOMING!!!! Probably not xD
i don't expect anything too special from the direct but who knows maybe we will get some surprises.
I think there will be quite a few announcements.. It is probably the last full direct before E3 so they need multiple surprises. I'm hoping for Dragon Quest XI Switch to finally get shown.
I wish it was physical but I'll get it digital
On N4G, a Sony fan named Lime123 is loosing his mind over the Switch outselling the ps4.
What does "HYPU" mean?
Omg switch is gonna out sale the ps4?
No physical=No Buy
Guess I'll have to import it.
It's $65 on play-Asia 👍🏽
I was so hyped I can't believe theyre not bring physical I want to buy it but not if theyre going to bring it later down the line
I'm so happy I found your channel, great content. Keep up great work, got my sub
I love your channel. But the one thing I dislike is you always talking about getting review copy’s it’s a bit meh to me. Other the. That love the content keep up the good work. ✊🏾
About the only prediction I can make about the Nintendo Direct is that we'll probably get some information about the new Rare Blade coming to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 via the Expansion Pass. As far as everything else is concerned, I hope we hear about ports of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and Xenoblade Chronicles X coming to Switch, maybe Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 being confirmed (wouldn't that be a slap on the knee), an actual release date for Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, some news about the new Fire Emblem as well as the new project Monolith Soft is working on, probably hyping us up for BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, maybe an actual release window for Project Octopath Traveler (as well as a final name), maybe a teaser for the Gen 8 Pokemon games, and I definitely hope we hear more about the other indie games we still have yet to get like Dragon: Marked for Death, Morphies Law, Shovel Knight: King of Cards and Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes. I doubt we'll hear anything about Smash Bros. or Nintendo Switch Online as I think those will be revealed at E3. Same can also be said for Metroid Prime 4. Those are just my guesses, so we'll just have to see what Nintendo reveals tomorrow.
They didnt say it eas digital in the trailer . it didn't say digital only like it did in the Europe trailer thou
So how much space will the digital version freakin take up???? So disappointed…
Sweet. Thanks for the info OJ! 🙂
I'm taking a month off of Twitter and I'm glad your Youtube means I don't miss much news, especially on the Nintendo Direct! 🙂
I'll be around live for the Nintendo Direct, probably watch your stream.
Thanks again OJ!
Nintendo’s killing it, especially in Japan! I wouldn’t be surprised if the PS5 is a highbred console, maybe it will come with a “Vita tablet” similar to the Wii U, except you can take your games anywhere (like Switch) actually that sounds pretty dope, I’d probably buy that.
Not a crazy idea, we all knows Sony’s been “inspired” by Nintendo before LOL.
I mean the ps4 in its first year didn’t do this
Digital only? Wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:50 don't forget Australia, 9th of March 9:00AM AEST
dragon quest 11, fire emblem, shin megami tensei
No 4th Storm game in the collection AND it's only a digital release?! Man, Namco's "let's piss Nintendo fans off" game is on point today! >.>
Extremely good news. Japanese game developers will no longer be able to ignore Switch from now on. Switch will most likely outsell PS4 this year. I do hope to see Code Vein and God Eater 3 released or ported to Switch. Two games I strongly want on Switch.
if the physical copy can have english sub texts i'll get it but looks like im getting the digital, good thing i recently bought a SD card
I would imagine Wolfenstein, Dark Souls, Yoshi and Smash will be the big titles shown off. A few other snippets of Kirby to push the pending release, a bit more on Mario Tennis, indi games and 3DS.
E3 will be Pikmin 4, Metroid Prime 4, Fire Emblem (mainline) and Pokémon.
It's going to be weak like the last 3
No physical? Well, no buy for me.. 🙁
I hate digital but Naruto will be one of the few games I buy digital. However, if they do make a physical later I will be mad that I wasted my money on a digital copy
I just want one big 3rd party game
I get off at 4 over here on the east coast. Looking forward to your steam man.
OJ! you need to watch Mizzah Tees new episode it'll have you in stitches.
I get digital anyway so great new for me.
30 minutes? I think they going show off a lot of games with this one.
Dragon Quest XI hasn’t released in the West on the switch.
It's really funky that from the many developers not even bigger ones put down the money for buying the cartridges to have their games on. We have over 400 games for Switch but it feels like we have only like 50 games on cartridges by now. ^^'
Just wondering regarding Naruto: If you buy the game from Japan: does that actually include English screen texts?
prolly gonna wait already have it digitally on steam.
I'm sorry, I hate the Naruto games. As someone who's a bit more competitive with fighting games, those games are so terribly balanced it's almost infuriating.
Shouldent need to point this out for anyone, But being the Number 1 Antisocialists consolation prize, Even having anything to even want to play over open port and tamper pausable pg-13 reverse compatability subjectabilitys that turns nothing short of AO outburst of intensive gratifications, Yea… Antifreeze…
