Update Time!

Added 2018-02-12 03:32:15 +0000 UTC

I just realized that it's been way too long since the last update! Not a ton to report on at the moment, but let's at the very least go over what videos are currently in the works.

First up, I've got a video on Mario Kart Tour. I wish I'd thought to do a video on it when the news was first announced, but sometimes I just don't realize how much I've got to say about something until I've had some time to mull it over. That should have gone out instead of The Gamer's Brief, but I was already nearly done with that when I thought about it. But yeah, that should be out this week, just a discussion about what the game might end up being and how I think Nintendo should go about pricing it and such.

Then, assuming Luigi's Balloon World really does come out this month, I'll definitely do a video on that. I don't know if there's enough content to do a "review"-type thing or if I should just record myself playing for ten minutes or something, but hey, it'll be something at least. I just hope it comes out in the next week, because that would be a pretty quick video, and I need a little extra time for another exciting video...

...that I'll announce right now! Yes, my friends, it's time to finally return to the subject of Paper Mario. I haven't done a video on it since well before the Switch's launch, and the Nintendo landscape is very different now. So of course the big question is, if this is a "new" Nintendo, is there any hope for our beloved Paper Mario? I'll dig into this question in the video, exploring every angle and trying to get to the bottom of why Paper Mario became what it became. The script is done, so now I need to shoot and edit. It's a little long and I want to make sure it's really good, so I definitely want to give it as much time as it needs. I had a BLAST getting back into Paper Mario and writing the script, I tell you. The Problem With Paper Mario was my first passion project of sorts, so it was great to return to it, you know? But look forward to that soon. I don't want to rush it out right after the Mario Kart Tour video, but I might have to if Luigi's Balloon World doesn't come out soon and I can't think of anything else to fill the slot.

Then I've got that amiibo video I've been talking about. At least I think I've been talking about it? I told you about that, right? Well if I haven't or you didn't see it, it's a great big fat video about how Nintendo's really not living up to their potential when it comes to amiibo. This is another big project, and it's on a topic I feel is pretty important. For that reason I'm getting The Lonely Goomba to edit it, so it's going to look extra spiffy!

So that's what I've got on my plate so far for this month. I'm not sure if the amiibo video will be out by the end of the month, but who knows. Right now I've released a few less popular videos and my numbers are really quite bad, so I'm excited by the idea of doing the Paper Mario and amiibo videos to try to stir things up again and get them sweet sweet subscribers coming! Recently I've been maintaining an average of one video every five days, which I'm pretty proud of, though I'm thinking I may need to slow it back down to one a week. When there aren't a bunch of Nintendo announcements to talk about it's hard to come up with enough content. It stinks because when my numbers are this low I feel like I need to put stuff out as fast as possible so I can keep things moving, but I have to remind myself that quality always comes first. If I need to slow down, I'll slow down. (At least until more juicy Nintendo news comes down the pipes!)

Well, thanks for reading, and ten million thanks to all my new patrons since the last update! We're stoked to have you here, introduce yourself in the comments! Talk to you later!
