I've been doing content creation (and specifically Nintendo-focused content creation) full-time for over three years now, if you can believe it. How did I get here? It's a winding journey and involves a lot of sacrifices... so I thought it might be kinda interesting to get into? Plus: thoughts on recent indies like Shotgun Cop Man, Nintendo financial results and more!

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to attend the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in Dallas, Texas. I got to hold the Switch 2! I got to play games like Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime 4 and more. I have THOUGHTS and plenty of YOUR questions to answer!

So, uh... a lot has changed over the past couple of weeks! Let's sit down for a little off-the-cuff chat about Nintendo Switch 2, prices, tariffs, pre-orders, Mario Kart World and all of it.

Note: I mention this in the episode, but I'm going to a Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on event very soon! If you have any questions about the console, the games or the event itself, leave a comment and I'll work it into the next episode of the show!
