I think, you know, as the games come out, there's a thing that's shipping. I don't know if it's shipping with the Switch or it's available same day that's like their Astro's Playroom thing. It's like their Nintendo Switch 2 Tour or whatever that's going to show off all the things it can do with like specific games.

And they're charging you.

And they're charging you.

I doubt this is going to be like one, two, switch all over again. They should just give it. That's fucked up. Just give that to people. Like Astro's Playroom. Showcase what the hardware can do. You should have something. I'll go further and say, for 4.49, they should have just fucking bundled Mario Kart World in with every system for free.

Back to the days of like, hey, remember when you get a pack-in game? Just give us the game for free. Nintendo can afford it. They'll still do it for a limited time at launch, then take it away. People can still buy the game separately. But throw fucking Mario Kart World in for us.

costs nothing for them to add it on. They're going to make billions of dollars anyway. But that showcase game, 100% Astro's Playroom. They should have chucked it in there.

I suppose.

Just to move along quickly, I think the mouse controls, I think you're going to see a lot of... Nintendo's great at this, right? They're going to find ways to utilize that. Oh my God, how clever. They're going to do some cool stuff with it, I think. And then voice chat is a big step up. I did want to address this real quickly. It's so nice to see Nintendo...

finally fucking joining the present day in terms of online features uh nintendo's obviously always been very weird about online um you know they were late to embrace it just entirely and then obviously they made it very very restricted and i understand why right there's a lot of fucking pervs out there and nintendo doesn't want any of that noise they don't want like you know

people fucking grooming your kids over Mario cart. Like that's, they've got to protect kids from that. And the, and the way that they have traditionally, um, approach that is just completely fucking locked down. Like you may not talk to anyone. Um, and then they added the chat app, but like, you know, it still wasn't integrated now that it's fully integrated with the, with the screen sharing, um,

With the camera, and the camera is doing some clever things, right? Things you'd expect a webcam to do, but it's going to be the processor that's doing all this, right? The virtual background replacement and zooming in on your face and stuff like that. It's going to do those things for you. Putting the face in the little speech bubbles, just things that I think are clever.

And then obviously the next part of that, which is necessary for Nintendo, is making sure that it is... family safe. And I think being able to set the chat restrictions via the app, like my kid may just not use these or particularly, I like the idea that you may, um, uh, uh, you can only talk to people that I've approved, like an approved contact list of your friends, uh, Right?
