can I open this with a joke I'm gonna go to the land of higher rule get it
because it's Hyrule but there's like Sky Islands
in all seriousness I'm not the biggest breath of the wild fan I didn't buy the
DLCs I don't cosplay as Zelda in bed or
not Zelda Link rather the point is I've only got about 250 hours in the game so
I'm only a little bit excited about tears of the Kingdom which is why I'm
totally not bothered At All by the fact that this special edition switch OLED
we're going to be unboxing
I'm very ready and I'm very confused because why would dbrand sponsor a video
about a device that's already skinned
oh oh shut up
oh no it's not enough to go toe-to-toe with Sony
they want to go at it with Nintendo they
sponsored an unboxing of a skinned
switch OLED so they can show your own skin that presumably they will expect
you to choose wow Illuminati triangle instead of Nintendo imagery we're gonna
get to that later who knows maybe not at all if the brand goes bankrupt fighting Nintendo and
court and can't afford to pay me alright first up is the joy cons
pretty happy with the quality of the Plastics here you know I don't check out
too many special edition consoles or anything but this is pretty solid the
gold has a fair bit of actual Sparkle I really like this matte white that
they're doing here and how's the quality of the screen printing you know what not
bad this is really important for something that you're going to be interfacing with day in day out this
side's meant to look weathered so I guess it wouldn't really matter if it
rubbed off a little bit but this side not so much
oh that's kind of disappointing see I've sequestered myself I have intentionally
not looked at any tears of the Kingdom stuff including special edition consoles
or whatever yeah that's a little boring like the switch outlet it's got a little
kickstand got your micro SD slot so you can back up your save games if you don't
have a Nintendo Online subscription just kidding you can't do that because
Nintendo hates their customers hopefully the dock is a little bit more exciting
you know I can I think I see where dbrand was going with this trying to
judge this up a little bit the Box looks so cool they don't even show the back of
the switch why why is the back of the switch not look like that that looks
pretty cool I am liking the dog backside of the dock pretty boring but
realistically I'm not gonna have the cable side showing anyway okay that's
Nintendo's effort I'm gonna be firing up chairs of the Kingdom for the first time
real quick here but first let's have a look at dbrand's attempt
okay I mean I can obviously see the
resemblance in the joy-cons got a bubble there dbrand got a bubble clone of the
Kingdom this side's perfect though actually they've gotten really good at
curved device wraps I haven't really like checked them out that recently
should I attempt to unpeel it and get them up okay I'm not gonna do it I'm not
gonna do it I want you guys to help me be the judge then as we construct this
original Joy cons or clone of the Kingdom joy-cons the inspiration is very
obvious we've gone from circles to hexagons presumably because they're best
of gons we've gone from best to
this but more different this and instead of first party Legend of Zelda what
appears to be a mask of some sort oh you have to forgive me I'm not familiar with
this particular bit of Zelda iconography and we've got a an Illuminati triangle
pyramid excuse me
yeah yeah Green goes black I'm not that into the green personally
oh dbrand has a green one too oh of course they do I like the black
one more but I like the white Nintendo yeah this one's cool this gold is
definitely more glittery that's something that stands out about the first party one but what about the
switch roll it oh I would have thought they would go a little more fun it's
just best of guns instead of circles to their credit they actually end up with a
more complete graphic the top of the original doesn't have that kind of
textured look whereas the dbrand wrapped one does I think that's a point for
dbrand it's also higher contrast what am
I even really looking at
do they have artist lawyers lawyer artists is that a thing where their role
is to is to draw something as close as humanly possible to something else
without infringing the copyright because this seems
very inspired by
a real real soft glow to it compared to the
harder look of the original it's not actually the gold that stands out to me
as much it's more this kind of pearlescent thing that they've got going
on here that looks awesome it's just white on the original
but you can kind of see it man I'm not sure how I feel about this I think I
like dbrands there are three Golds here best gold is the original joy-cons
followed by dbrand skin gold followed by Nintendo's screen printed gold but this
is really cool
is it marble I don't know what it is but it looks freaking awesome
yeah okay well that looks amazing
which one do I put the game cartridge in
the business guy says dbrand but the production guy says the first
party Nintendo one because that's where we already installed the game how about
this for a compromised business person I will put the dbrand joy-cons on the
original Nintendo switch deal all right deal oh and I should probably
decode this hidden message that dbrand has sent to me that probably is rude
uh thank you uh they actually there's two hidden messages and they want you to
do this one they won't use that one this one okay haha Linus is so short and has
an ugly car there I did it oh oh no you
want me to what are these glyphs
with oh oh what oh I'm sorry you got the
flag this high and you got the flag this high and they're totally different
letters oh In fairness I mean this is Nintendo and depending on where you hit
the flagpole it's a very big difference in points which matter in Mario this is
gonna take forever that's the that's
must be this Fun's hour this has got to be r
yes this funds our legal something it's
got a defense it's got to be defense this funds our legal defense oh I see
you buying skins I assume all righty brand I better get
paid we took cash in advance for this right oh good the dbrand's apparently
already on the list I have not touched my switch since I finished breath of the
wild pretty much and for those keeping score at home breath of the wild came
out six flipping years ago I don't remember the last time I was this
nervous launching a video game like who cares right but on the other hand I
loved breath of the wild and I loved it for its differentness I loved it for its
Innovation I loved it for its things that were infuriating it was the first
RPG that I've ever played that had a
meaning to collecting more coins or you
know more rupees or whatever the fact that weapon breakage made you explore
all these different strategies really you know it wasn't just another another
bakoblin encampment or whatever I love that honestly speaking I was kind of
disappointed to hear the tears of the kingdom is just the same Hyrule but like
a direct sequel literally every review 10 out of 10 100 out of a hundred so
what do I what do I make of this while we go
through this cut scene I have something really exciting to show you guys
announcing LTT stick loss these are
designed to fit on pretty much every major modern console or controller and
what they do is if you're transporting your devices you simply put them onto
your joysticks like so and they lock them in place so they won't accidentally
get bumped or wiggled while they're in your bag cool right they're made of a
super flexible silicone Rubber and they also double actually I think we kind of
fixed this issue because they used to accidentally pop all the time yes we can
fix this issue but you can still kinda
fidget toy them a little bit oh they send a steam deck
of course they did project kill switch blah blah every pack of stick locks
comes with two pairs allowing you to do up two of your consoles so here it is
fitting on a full-size joystick as well oh this already has dbrand's joystick
covers on it sorry dbrand they're not compatible with stick locks see you
later it's like we screwed up the
need huh anyway the idea is just to keep your sticks in place and transport by
the way this looks awesome I think this steam deck actually kind of looks cooler
than the switch it helps that there's kind of a larger canvas for it too love
these skins on the touch pads oh sorry sorry sorry sorry I just actually want
to play this game confession I don't plan to play it on the switch
but I bought my game
I don't care at that point sorry sorry for anyone for whom this is
a spoiler I can already see where they're going with this I have Full Hearts obviously we're gonna get amnesia
or get all of our you know junk lost or something like that I guess I'll have to
do this on my own time just like you will on your own time subscribe to Short
