What is the overall impression of the Nintendo Switch 2 after the announcement?
We'll get on to that.
Another 50 grand if you're ready to lose it, Gary. Gary, we got a lot to talk about. We're going to talk a lot about Nintendo. And I just want to get your top level. I love talking about Nintendo. Because once we get deep into it, we're going to talk about Nintendo. But I missed your impressions from last week. How are you feeling post the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2?
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 the thing of there's good news and bad news, right? I was just telling you right before the show.
It's always the way with Nintendo. They give with one hand and they take away with the other.
Right before the show, I was telling you about how I was at the event last week in New York and... For people that were at the event, it was tough to look online and see the details coming out as they were coming out.
You're saying all that stuff was happening as you were hands-on with the system.
Yes, as we're hands-on with the thing. So I'm playing the Nintendo Switch 2, and honestly, at the event, I'm having the time of my life. I'm like, man, this slate of games looks great. Man, I love playing on the Nintendo Switch 2 handheld. I think it feels better. I like the bigger screen. I was telling you that I think the LCD screen looks great. Yeah, because that was my thing.
No LED. Yeah, no LED.
Right.
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.
And you will still get your OLED screen.
You'll get your upgrade down the road.
Exactly.
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?
um it i mean it feels like a better switch right you know i think the big thing me and tim kind of talked about this and like tim helped me kind of confirm why i thought this way of it feels like a more premium switch and i think tim helped settle it in a way of oh it's the joy cons right it's that is those magnets the joy cons are so strapped into that that that that click on thing so what yeah is it like when it clicks on do you get a little oh yeah a little bit
