With the Nintendo Switch 2 officially taking the spotlight, the era of the original Nintendo Switch is finally coming to a close.

In this episode of Podcasting With Power, we’re looking back at one of the most important pieces of hardware in Nintendo's history. We relive the unforgettable reveal of the console, share our launch day experience, and discuss the lasting impact the console has had on Nintendo’s overall strategy, game development, and the industry as a whole.

On top of all of that, each of us narrow down our list of Top 10 Switch games (with surprisingly little overlap)!

Nearly a decade later, the question is clear: what will the legacy of the Switch generation ultimately be?
