And we're starting off with a slip up of a direct coming pretty soon from Lego and Nintendo.

So this was very interesting because there was an announcement on the official in Tendo of America.

Page Dub Bowser on Twitter, saying that Nintendo and Lego are teaming up for some type of collaboration.

Now there's been some other rumors going around that it's going to be Mario Block sets that you can build or Lego sets that you can build.

But there's no indication, as of this point, that it's going to be an actual game Now.

Nintendo and Lego have teamed up before in the past with Lego City Undercover. 00:00:56.270 --> 00:01:3.550 That game initially was a real you exclusive before going over to other platforms, and it's also on the Nintendo switch. 00:01:3.640 --> 00:01:14.310 There's also the Lego world's Game that's on the Nintendo switch as well, and all the different Lego games that have been a Nintendo platforms over the course of the years or decades or whatever.

So Nintendo on Lego have always had a pretty good business relationship over all, and this seems to be the next thing.

But the biggest thing about this is not necessary that there is some type of partnership.

But what was said before they fixed on the official site, But Legos site first and foremost, And here's what they had to say before they came out and fix it.

So they kind of slipped up about the Nintendo direct, they said.

Quote heard about the partnership between Lego and Nintendo.

The latest Nintendo direct announced their exciting collaboration the first time that the two big brands have worked together.

Details are limited at this stage, but we hope you're as excited as us something.

It's not gonna be a video game, and it's going to be some type of Lego blocks set, or something like that, or some type of promotion or toys or something with Super Mario and also with Lego, because it's the first time that Super Morial, right, Super Memorial and Lego.

So I think that's what they were probably alluding to.

You're not a Nintendo, but Morial Lego Okay, I get it now.

That's right what they're saying is right the first time that these two brands Super Mario the brand, not Nintendo, that owns Memorial but Super Mario and Lego itself.

So that was also what Doug Bowser was showing off some type of Mario thing on Twitter and all of that.

So yeah, yeah, that is correct in terms of that statement.

But either way, it does seem like there is going to be an announcement of a Nintendo direct pretty soon here and they accidentally let this one slip.

I'm guessing the announcement the Nintendo direct will be this week, or it's going to be next week, sometime like that, and I'm guessing this week.

So the announcement maybe could come on Wednesday, and then we have it on Thursday or Thursday.

Then we have it on Friday. 00:02:56.100 --> 00:03:1.000 I'm not really sure, but it does seem like they were a little bit quick to jump the gun on that one. 00:03:1.010 --> 00:03:4.540 And obviously it's been AWOL since the last intended direct. 00:03:4.770 --> 00:03:12.340 I'm not really sure exactly what this is gonna turn out to be, but it doesn't make it is going to be some type of toy set or something like that, and Maybe there is a game tying.

Maybe there is something that kind of relates to it.

Maybe there's something that is added into something like Super Mario maker like D L C or something like that.

We have the Morio 10 day, obviously.

So that was the announcement for today.

And it's one of those things, too, where we're just gonna have to wait and see what they end up doing.

But the Nintendo direct does seem like it's going to be coming pretty soon here, we're gonna be getting an announcement.

Obviously, Like I said, it's been a while, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they show off.

I mean, I have heard a few things here and there, and I think it's going to be interesting when it comes to directed when they finally show one off.

Obviously we have animal crossing coming up, so that's a big game.

And Nintendos deadly gearing up for that release as well.

So exciting times for Nintendo fans and in terms of what they're going to be seen and showing off. 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:1.850 So I'm in to see how it all plays out this week or next week. 00:04:1.860 --> 00:04:2.880 We'll have to wait on that one. 00:04:2.890 --> 00:04:4.190 So what are you guys? 00:04:4.190 --> 00:04:8.850 These thoughts when it comes to this super Mario and Lego collaboration? 00:04:8.850 --> 00:04:11.380 When do you guys think this is gonna be announcing this direct?

Have they already announced that at this point, let me know your thoughts in the comments section below?

All right now, moving on to the next topic here we have a pretty big announcement when it comes to the NFL license E A and two K games.

So to Gay has officially announced that they have a multi year partnership to produce non simulation football games with the NFL.

This is the first time, and like what?

A decade that we've been able to see anybody make anything with the NFL when it comes to football.

Outside of E A.

The last game was NFL two K five. 00:04:48.620 --> 00:05:4.870 So yeah, it's actually been like more than a decade, almost two decades, 15 years so to Kay has announced a multi year partnership with the National Football League encompassing multiple future video games, which marks the return of football thing titles. 00:05:4.950 --> 00:05:17.100 The two case lineup of sports games The games will be non simulation football game experiences and are in early development, starting for launch in 2021 specific titles.

Developers and release dates will be announced at a later date.

Quote.

The NFL is one of the most successful sports brand in the world, known for creating incredible entertainment for fans that two games president David is smeller were thrilled to be back in the business with the NFL in a partnership that will span multiple video games centered on fun, approachable and social experiences.

It's exciting to bring together two case expertise and creating award winning sports games with the NFL's renowned status as a world class entertainment and sports organization now on NFL senior vice president of consumer products Joe Ruggiero said.

Expanding the NFL's presence in the world of gaming has become a focus for the league as we look to grow the next generation of our fan base and reviving our partnership to Kay was a natural step in that effort to Kay's a worldwide leader in sports video games with a proven track record of creating best in class and award winning games, and we look forward to sharing Maura about the projects as we're working on with them in the future, Now it should be noted that in disagreement it does not allow to K to develop National Football League branded football simulation games.

So the 11 on 11 what you'd expect from something like Madden or NFL two K that is, um, that they won't be doing what this is like.

It's going to be like maybe NFL blitz or NFL streets, or almost like e a play type of versions that they had with Madden on the weak.

It's gonna be something like that.

Maybe even like a flag, football and tackle football mode.

But it's like three on three or something like that, or nine men.

Football?

Not really sure, but it's not going to be the regular simulation type of games.

Electronic Arts, E A. 00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:1.260 They still have the exclusive license for that. 00:07:1.270 --> 00:07:5.430 Andy A released their own statement because he is crazy about this. 00:07:5.450 --> 00:07:8.730 They also released their own statement saying, This quote E. 00:07:8.730 --> 00:07:17.980 A sports is the exclusive publisher of NFL simulation games, and our partnership with the NFL and F L P A remains unchanged, Electronic Arts said in the statement.

Our agreements have always allowed for non exclusive development of non simulation games on various platforms.

Our commitment to NFL fans, which spans almost 30 years, has never been stronger.

And we're having our biggest year yet.

Madden NFL 20 is the most successful game ever in the franchise, and all new modes like Superstar Ko and our Madden NFL EA sports broadcasts are going the fan base.

We'll be building on that momentum andMe or new and different experiences on more platforms with the new ways to play in the years to come.

So I think the biggest problem that people have with the A and with this exclusive deal is that it's not on more platforms.

That's the funny thing. 00:07:56.310 --> 00:08:0.370 They just kind of recently went back to PC pretty much it was just P s for Xbox one. 00:08:0.370 --> 00:08:2.990 For the longest time, they've pretty much ditched Nintendo platforms. 00:08:2.990 --> 00:08:6.510 Obviously, the Nintendo switch is super popular, especially here in the U. 00:08:6.510 --> 00:08:6.690 S. 00:08:6.690 --> 00:08:9.960 And there's no Madden on the Nintendo switch at all. 00:08:9.970 --> 00:08:13.380 And on top of that, it does seem like, yes, they have grown.

Yes, they're selling a lot yesterday, having success, but it's only because of the exclusive franchise.

If two K was able to make simulation football games they'd probably not have as much success.

It's just because football is just so popular.

American propose so popular NFL so popular and this is the only place that we can get it from.

They literally have a monopoly on the market.

So if you have a monopoly on the market, of course they're gonna have success because, yes, madam, it's functional.

It works, and it's not a horrible game by any means.

But let's just be honest here.

If NFL two K was allowed to continue making NFL games, there would definitely be better NFL games out.

At this point, there would be better NFL games because competition drives excellence. 00:08:55.230 --> 00:09:1.650 You have to have competition in order to not settle on your laurels or whatever the case is right and not get complacent. 00:09:1.810 --> 00:09:6.140 And Madden, I would say he's got a little bit complacent here in there over the years. 00:09:6.140 --> 00:09:14.550 So I think that with two K getting back into the game when it comes to non simulation, I think that's definitely gonna push things just a little bit now myself.

I have not bought a Madden game in over a decade.

The last time that I actually purchased a Madden game.

Full price.

Day one was, I think, Madden 2010 back on the PlayStation three.

So it's been a decade for me, and I'm not going to buy any Madden games.

They won when it comes down to just because I haven't seen the type of improvements that I would like to see.

And of course, they don't have another Nintendo switch played anywhere that you want.

So yeah, I'm good on that.

But this two K game, hopefully it does come to more platforms.

Hopefully, it does come to everything it comes to switch.

It comes to P.

C.

P s for Xbox one.

Whatever the case is right, so more people can play it.

Madden is so inclusive, it's usually just two platforms just expanding the PC and they don't develop on switch at all. 00:09:57.640 --> 00:10:3.230 So, I mean, I'm hoping that this two K game comes in, and it's a lot of fun because I'll buy that day one non simulation football. 00:10:3.240 --> 00:10:8.540 We could still use the stars of the NFL all by that, just so I can send a message to yea like, Hey, I'll buy this game. 00:10:8.540 --> 00:10:10.440 But I'm not buying your game you know.

So those are my thoughts on that?

What do you guys think?

Let me know in the comments section below, All right, and move on to the final topic here, guys.

It seems like Tony Hawk Pro Skater is coming back.

Yes, Tony Hawk pro Skater is coming back in some way, shape or form.

Let's hope that it's not a mobile game.

So on Twitter there was a post from the Nathan and S and he stated that there is a person.

I think it's a band, that they're called the debt set.

And they said, Just license five new songs to Tony Hawk 2020 Game.

You'll be hearing this bleep soon so it does seem like there is a new Tony Hawk in coming, since they did license the dead set, license their music over for a 2020 game. 00:10:54.030 --> 00:11:1.460 And one thing that the Nathan said is like this seems like a N b A and non disclosure agreement breach, and it definitely does seem like that. 00:11:1.460 --> 00:11:3.720 Or maybe the debts that just didn't care. 00:11:3.820 --> 00:11:4.540 They were excited. 00:11:4.540 --> 00:11:16.200 Just announce it, but Tony Hawk could be coming back now, Like I said before, let's hope that this isn't some type of mobile bad Tony Hawk spinoff Tony Hawk Ride or something like that.

I'm hoping that it's just like a standard, really cool Tony Hart game, almost like Tony Hawk Pro Skater, too.

I really like Tony Hawk pro Skater to that's my favorite Tony Hart game of all time is Tony skated?

So I know people like the Underground Games and Bam Margera and dancing and all those other weird stuff.

But for me, it was always Tony Hawk Pro Skater, too.

Rodney Mullen man the hangar.

That was just fantastic.

So I'm hoping that it's just gonna be something cool.

Something Standard has some nice features built into.

It makes a multi player in their skate around with your friends at all.

Definitely pick it up.

I'm not sure if it needs to be some type of big release $60 or anything like that.

I think it could be a download game that's just fairly good budget. 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:0.930 Nothing crazy and just get back to the basics when it comes to a good Tony Hawk. 00:12:0.940 --> 00:12:8.340 Games is a lot of tricks, A lot of cool sound effects, a lot of good say arena or skate park designs. 00:12:8.340 --> 00:12:10.940 Pretty cool, single player kind of thrown in there.

And, like I said, Multiplayer skate around with your friends, have some competitions, stuff like that.

And then you got yourself a good Tony Hart game that isn't crazy, doesn't break the bank or anything like that.

So to may, I'm hoping that's what this is.

But we're gonna have a wait and see exactly what happens here.

But what are your thoughts on this when it comes to everything that we discussed from the Nintendo direct toe?

Also, this two K games with NFL and also Tony Hawk?
