I got sick over the weekend, so I've recruited Matt to join me in ushering in this new era of Nintendo Switch 2! On this episode, we're giving our first impressions of Switch 2, Mario Kart World and more... but not before spending a little time looking back at the first Nintendo Switch. We've gathered a whole bunch of great community submissions from y'all, sharing your favorite games and memories from the past eight years! It gave us a great excuse to celebrate some great games on a platform that's meant so much to all of us.

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!
