Chapter 1: What is the official launch day news for Nintendo Switch 2?
It's a lot of Switch 2, bless. We'll have all that and more. Actually, just that, because this is Kind of Funny Games Daily. What's up, and welcome to Kind of Funny Games Daily for Thursday, June 5th, 2025, the official launch day of the Nintendo Switch 2. Of course, I'm your host, Tim Geddes. I'm joined today by, blessing, Adeoya Jr.
I grew up with the PlayStation 2 version of Soul Calibur 2. And so I had bitch ass Heihachi as my special character for the game. And so now you play in the GameCube version of Soul Calibur 2 and playing with Link.
Everything is right. Everything is right. God, what a time to be alive. F-Zero GX is playable officially from Nintendo in 2025. It feels good. It feels real good. Feels real fast. I love it.
everybody you're probably wondering why are we at a different set right now we're sitting on chairs instead of sitting at a desk it's because it's the switch to launch day we're about to have a fun party stream after this of all of us playing the switch to just like we did all night long last night we went live around 7 30 and we're still live we never stopped being live roger and joey stayed literally the entire night uh fran came through for a for many hours um nick was there me and bless were there for a while greg was there and it was just like a
A menagerie of people. What do you want to say about last night?
I mean, honestly, I'm sad that I couldn't stay longer. It was such an active day. It was such a busy day. And so, like, to start it off with getting the Switch 2s in the office and then rolling that into, I mean, y'all talking about Ballerina, and then the State of Play, right, which was really big. And then, you know, I had volleyball I had to go to, you know what I mean?
And then coming back and, you know, playing the Switch 2 and Mario Kart. I don't know. It was just such a good time, such a busy day. But, yeah, I, like, I felt like I felt lame because I peaced out at, what, like, 11, 11.30? Yeah. I don't know, man. I wish I could have stayed later.
I ended up leaving at midnight with Greg. And I didn't want to. It was like such middle school sleepover vibes. And I haven't felt that in a long time. Like that type of experience. And you can only get it when there's something fresh and new and there's an excitement in the air that everyone's like equally excited about. You know?
A new console, Mario Kart, just bopping around trying different things. Friends complaining about how many frames per second it is. It was just like a magic experience.

Chapter 2: What snacks came with the Nintendo Switch 2 delivery?
Finally getting around to Deltarune.
Exactly. And then Sunday, we'll be back here in the studio at the desk reacting to the Xbox Showcase, which I am very excited for. Would you say you're more excited for Summer Game Fest or Xbox Showcase?
Ooh, I would say equal. I'm equally excited. Yeah, I think I would say I'm pretty excited for both. I think mainly because I don't know what to expect for either. I know Xbox is a bit easier because you kind of know that you have the expectations of we might see Perfect Dark. We might see Clockwork Revolution. We know we're going to see Outer Worlds 2. You know what? I'll say Xbox.
Because Outer Worlds 2 specifically. I cannot wait to see more of that game. I love the first Outer Worlds. And so I'm really excited to see what they have for the second one.
Yeah, I'm leaning towards Xbox as well. I feel like just because they've really knocked it out of the park the last couple of years with this one. And I feel like we're at a place now that they have a lot even more than they had last year in terms of teams and things that they could announce.
So I feel like there's a very high chance of it being entertaining and filled with at least a couple of things that make me go, oh, I'm stoked about this. Yes, I'm excited.
to play this on all platforms maybe the cloud um i was trying to segue from speaking of clouds it doesn't fully work but because you got your head in the clouds i got my head in my cloud for for years i had my head in the clouds dreaming thinking about what pokemon scarlet and violet running right would look like yeah and it was hard to fathom allegedly you know what i mean uh but now it's not kevin can you bring up the the link that i i sent um
This is one of the greatest before and afters I've ever seen.
Already, before the video even plays, I can see the smoother textures in the Switch 2 version. This is insane, by the way.

Chapter 3: What issues have customers faced with GameStop pre-orders?
For audio listeners, like, we're looking at a side-by-side of the Switch 1 and Switch 2 versions of Scarlet or Violet. And, yeah, we're looking at the windmills, and the Switch 1 windmill, the rotation on the fans, propellers, they are... In stop motion, essentially, right? Because of how bad the frame rate is in that game. And in the Switch 2 version, it is so smooth.
I mean, here's the thing. You look at this and your eyes are drawn to the windmill closest to us on the bottom left that on the Switch 2 is running right. On the Switch 1, janky as all hell. But you get distracted by that and then you start looking at the other windmills. Yes. Can we just, like, appreciate windmill number four? On the top?
On the top, yeah. Windmill number four is trying its best. Like, that is one frame per second? Yeah. Like, two frames at max per second?
Yeah. You guys are better at looking at rates. Are the windmills at the bottom all moving at the same rate?
Ooh, can you fullscreen?
Yes.
I don't know if we'll be able to tell, honestly. Well, I mean, windmill in the back, honestly, windmill in the back is better than the Switch One's first windmill in the front. Like, to really drive this home. I... think this is fucked up. They are messing with what Scarlet and Violet is at its core. This is not Scarlet and Violet. This ain't the Scarlet and Violet that I know.
The game should not run this smooth. People shouldn't be able to do this. It's not fair. We had to play it the other way.
I had to play it in its truest form.

Chapter 4: How did the launch party for the Nintendo Switch 2 go?
Yeah, I was about to cut it off for a little while.

For a chance to be part of this show, though, submit your thoughts and opinions as YouTube Super Chats as we go, just like Bob Shigety already did, saying, are you guys getting Magic the Gathering Final Fantasy pre-release tomorrow?
I don't know what the plan is. I didn't get a preorder because they're so expensive, and I'm waiting to see if anything comes in the mail to see what's up.
Did you preorder? I preordered something a while back. I don't remember what it was, but I got some set of cards. I just don't understand magic, so I'm not sure what I did.
At the very least, on Saturday, I got plans to go to a magic event, and I'm going to play some magic Final Fantasy set with people. I love that. I will have my hand on those.
I think that that's so cool that you do that. Oh, really? Legitimately. Thank you. I appreciate it. I think that's just such a putting yourself out there, having fun, meeting people, playing games, trying new stuff.
Couldn't be me. Nowadays, my weeks are I play volleyball on one day of the week. Another day of the week, I go and I play cards with strangers. Hell yeah. And it's changed my life. I feel like such a better man.
Hell yeah, dude. That's awesome. A little housekeeping for you. We're an 11-person business all about live talk shows like the one we're doing right now. After this, we're going to be playing a lot more Switch 2. And then at some point today, we're going to do a Gamescast that's our Nintendo Switch 2 first impressions.

Chapter 5: What new features does the Nintendo Switch 2 bring?
This one's me. Oh, it's you. This one's me. Okay, I don't count when it's other people. Yeah, yeah.
This one's me. Wasn't it strike three yesterday? Or two days ago?
No, he got it in on time. Or he didn't write the amount of how long the Greg way was, but he did write the topic, which is good enough for me.
Interesting.
I just want to get there without having to read the X's. I don't like X's. I don't like X's. Yeah. Especially seven evil ones.
True. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs of Makeup Buster and Delaney Twining. Today, we are brought to you by X-Reel, but we'll tell you all about that later. I'm really excited. I'm going to try my X-Reel with the Switch 2 later today. Oh.
I am not confident it's going to work. So what, you're going to put on the glasses and see your Switch 2 screen?
Unfortunately, because I have Nintendo work. So the X-Reel, anything that has the USB video out, it works. Okay. Switch doesn't. Because they're motherfuckers. And you need to dock it. Remember that whole thing? Yes. You need to dock to the HDMI. So you instead need to have a little dongle that you can power and then a second USB-C going out. So I'm going to test. We'll see.
I'll keep you all updated. Maybe I'll do it on stream. Maybe I'll play Mario Kart against you, you playing on the TV, me in augmented reality. No one will make fun of me.

Chapter 6: What surprising marketing strategies did Walmart use for the launch?
Yeah, we could do that. But then I'm tethered to the world.
I want to be mobile.
Mobile.
Get this man on the road.
For now, let's begin with what is and forever will be the Roper Report. It's time for some news. We have eight stories today. Story number one. What a headline. My Switch 2 came with... Snacks? What a day. This comes from Jazz Stewart at Polygon.
Upon receiving my Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch 2 Pro controller delivery on this cold, wet June launch day morning, I was blessed to find a gift from Sam Walton himself. Okay, maybe not Sam, who's been a ghost since 1992.
While I expected to open my package to reveal Nintendo's hot new console, lo and behold, nestled in the reusable bags placed on my front porch were two cans of pizza-flavored Pringles and two bottles of Coke to wash it all down. I've witnessed many console launches in my day, but I've never been gifted stacks to power my initial gaming session with a brand new console. Now bless. Yeah.
You prepped the show today. Yeah. You're the one that came up with the news stories. Yeah. You're the one that decided this is story number one. Yeah. All right. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Switch 2 gamers have flooded the internet with details on their Nintendo Switch 2 hauls.
While some brag about claiming their new console at midnight or being able to find one without a preorder, others brag about the flavor of Pringles they received from Walmart. Some unlucky individuals didn't receive the snack care package, while others received the snacks with other miscellaneous bonus goodies, including wet wipes, Tide samples, and Band-Aids.

Chapter 7: What are the early impressions of Switch 2 gameplay?
No matter where you land in the discussion, this bizarre pre-order bonus will be remembered when we look back on the Nintendo Switch 2's launch.
What's going on, Tim?
I don't know, but last night, me, Kevin, and Greg were at the Nintendo store for the launch party events for Nintendo Switch 2. And Greg Miller did one of the most, or asked me one of the most bizarre questions. Fuck it, why? No. This can't be. No way. Fuck, it really is. Like, what the fuck, man? Literally, as I'm talking shit about him. Why? What could he possibly have to say?
We have Pringles to talk about on this gaming news show. We had to talk about these wet wipes that are going out with people.
Kind of funny game showdown. Season three champion. Oh, shit.
I'm going to move my hand over here. Frankly, boys, it's a little bit insulting. Yeah. That on a day this big, you would make this story number one. All right. Sure. It's Switch 2 launch day. But as you might remember, Timothy. Yeah. Me and this championship are on. We're intertwined with the Switch 2. All right. Run. What happened? When they announced the Switch 2.
I said I would cash in stars in the bank and you ran away like a coward. Yeah, that's true. That was a bullshit move on your part, alright. So what I did is try to make it right, Tim. I told everyone near and far that I would confirm the parade details. Yes. that I would confirm the parade details. That's right, San Francisco. We're bringing the kind of funny championship parade to you.
What day is it going to be? Saturday. Before I get to that, what I need you all to know is that this is a championship parade for me. Thank you, Barrett. Greg Miller, your season three champion, all right? And I know a lot of you are saying, maybe I don't want to go to San Francisco on a Saturday. That's fine. Right now, go to kindoffunny.com slash store.
Kevin, show kindoffunny.com slash store right now. Please, I appreciate the smoke. I see everyone else in here annoyed by it. Not me. We have not one but two championship shirts for you.

Chapter 8: What are the expectations for the Summer Game Fest?
Of course, we're the three Pete. There it is. You see it right there. Three time champion. That's what you're looking for right now. Of course, if you are one of the people who thinks I'm the most handsome champion there's ever been on game showdown, we appreciate that. There's a shirt for that too. God, there's the team blue shirt right there. All right, blue shirt.
These are what you need right now. Roberto super chats. What's the name of Greg's walkout music? That is element 80s ego. Everybody love that song. Great song. These shirts are up right now. What I'm going to need you all to do is realize you already spent all mom's money on the Nintendo Switch, and you need to buy both of these shirts and bring them to San Francisco on Saturday, June 28th.
Saturday, June 28th is Greg Miller's championship parade, everybody.
Well, I can't be there. Oh, that's a shame. It's Pokemon Go Fest.
Oh, that's a shame. Well, you see, what's funny about the Greg Miller Championship Parade is that it's going to be down on the Embarcadero. No. As part of Pokemon Go Fest. See, Tim. No. See, Tim, I know how much you love Pokemon Go, and you love walking the Embarcadero with your little friend, Andy Goldfarb. Well, I thought I would bring the parade to you so you don't have to choose.
You don't have to choose what you do. You can come be part of the parade with hundreds, if not thousands, of kind of funny best friends in my team blue shirt as we walk the Embarcadero. Yeah. We didn't get it. This isn't like a legal parade. We're not taking over the street. We'll walk on the sidewalks and be respectful. We'll play Pokemon Go with you so you can have fun. You will lift me up.
You will carry me. We will walk the Embarcadero and end outside of SPG. That's Square Pie, guys, on their little grassy area. Oh, my God. Can we get Hunter Pence to come give a speech? Can we get the mayor to come give a speech? Oh, man. I have a call with Neon today to see if they'll give me a special Pokemon Go thing.
No! I want everyone to know, if you have been watching this show for the last couple years, I've been on my journey to level 50, the final level.
When's that going to happen?
