Hi! Thanks to an extremely fun and unexpected emergency surgery while traveling abroad, our podcast scheduled got derailed faster than a friendship after Mario Party. This low-budget update, which will be deleted FOREVER once the next real episode goes up, explains what happened.

And while this is certainly the least essential content that will ever be put on this feed, I do tell my all-time favorite joke at the end of the show. So don't say the Nutcase never did nothin' nice for ya!

That Switch 2 Direct sure was something, huh? Thank goodness the hype isn’t being dismantled by the easily predictable geopolitical fallout from America’s very normal decision to put a convicted felon in the most influential seat of the global economy. Because if something like that happened, the Nintendo Nutcase might just go Bananza!

Fortunately for all of us, it’s actually the morning of April 2nd and nothing stupid is about to happen just a few short hours later. So come join your pals Nick and Mira as they dissect the Switch 2 blowout and pull apart what Nintendo’s marketing pitch says about their shift in mindset compared to the company’s January 2017 Switch 1 live show.

In this lore-heavy episode, Mira and Nick are grabbin' a fresh glass of Reginald's juice as they party with latex ladies and stinky boys.

The Nintendo Nutcase and the Nintendo Newcomer are traveling all the way back to the year 2000 to see the strategies Nintendo has deployed over the past 25 years when revealing new hardware. So come along for the ride as they examine how the lessons the company learned from the debuts of the Game Boy Advance, GameCube, DS, Wii, 3DS, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch informed the tactical deployment of January 2025's first look at Nintendo Switch 2.
