I feel good about it. We've waited for it for a long time. They feel like, come on, Nintendo, where's the Switch 2? We're finally there. It's going to be out in a couple of months. You've played it. It's real. It exists. We now know almost everything we need to know about it. There's still some things out there, but we've got a clear sense of what it is now and what the proposition is.

And for me, it's everything I wanted it to be. It's just a better Nintendo Switch, right? Some people say, oh, Nintendo's lost the innovation. But when you hit on something that is a proven, brilliant, fucking winning formula, why reinvent the wheel? Just give us a better one of those. The biggest issue that we had with it was, certainly for me, was the performance issues.

It does not compare to the other consoles. Which is why we were getting these terrible ports of Mortal Kombat. Why did they even port this? It's a mess. Now we're going to come closer to some kind of parity, I think. It looks much more impressive technically. I like the bigger size, the bigger screen. I like many of the things that they're doing.

Obviously, there are things to nitpick at, for sure. We talked about some of it last time I was on the show, and we'll get into it again today, I'm sure. But for the most part... Can't wait. I already have my order in. I can't wait to get one. I'm excited to have it.

It's always the way with Nintendo. They give with one hand and they take away with the other.

You're saying all that stuff was happening as you were hands-on with the system.

No LED. Yeah, no LED.

But what I'm hearing is that it's at least comparable. It's in the ballpark. It's not going to feel like you've taken a big step back.

You'll get your upgrade down the road.

So I know you've talked about it a lot, but you haven't talked about it with me. That's the important part. The first time you pick up a new piece of hardware or try it for the first time and you actually have it, what was your immediate kind of first impression of it?

You don't get the feel of like when something magnetizes, you feel it when it demagnetizes, you don't.
