I woke up this morning and I was ready to come into this episode being very gloomy, being very upset and sad because I saw online other people like Jordan Midler already had their Nintendo Switch 2s. Sure. And I was like, I was going to come in. I was going to be really like, oh, man, what's going on here? I can't believe I don't have I don't believe I can't believe we don't have ours yet.
Yeah.
And the fact that I'm looking at the boxes right now warrants my heart.
Yeah, ladies, gentlemen, NBs, you may have heard that, of course, Nintendo Switch 2s weren't going out for review ahead of time. That was a well-known factoid out there. We had been told by Nintendo at some point in the launch window we would get units from them, a couple of them. We have two, one to me and one to Tim. that we would then be able to use. We didn't know when that would be.
We didn't expect it right now because, of course, we are going to the Nintendo Store tonight. We are streaming from the Nintendo Store tonight for the actual worldwide launch and stuff. So a lot of interesting things happening.
But we do, in fact, if you're an audio listener, have the Nintendo Switch 2 regular, no Mario Kart, Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, Nintendo Switch 2 camera, and the Joy-Con 2 wheel set of twos. It feels like Christmas. It does. Christmas in June. Yeah, yeah, 100%. How do you feel right now? I love... We live for this. Yeah. Right?
Like, this is like... My whole Greg way is about what a day to be a gamer, right? Because, of course, it's the kickoff of this, but then, of course, there's SGF, but then there's the Microsoft... There's so much happening at once, right? What an embarrassment of riches. And so, I'm so excited to be part of this and have the excitement. And then, of course, today, they're like, all right, well...

Chapter 2: What was the initial reaction to the Switch 2 launch?
Actually, we do have to start charging. Oh, this is the dock.
We got the... Oh! I'm not seeing this up close. This is your first time holding the dock? This is my first time holding the dock. And it feels more expensive. You ever had a dock that big? I mean... It's arguable. Oh, there's the switch, too. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Just loose like trash you left. Yeah, they packed this in a really interesting way. Oh, you did it the crazy way. You should open the small side, not the big side. That's on you.
And here's the base itself. Here's the console itself. I feel bad for touching the screen. Not to, you got to. It's the only way to do it. Now, should I remove the film? Well, the protective film. Hold on, before I hold it up, I'm going to unbox the Joy-Cons and connect the Joy-Cons.
God, this is so nice. It really does feel like Christmas. All right, here we go. I'm going to clap on the first magnet. Oh, oh, oh, I got to take off. Do you want to read the instructions? Yeah, let's bust out the instructions. Oh, there we go. Now that clapped on.
There it is. The Nintendo Switch 2.
It's upside down.
The Nintendo Switch 2. Oh, shoot.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. There we go. The Nintendo Switch 2. There you go. Oh, my gosh. Hold on. I've never held one. Yeah, there you go. Oh, man. Okay. It feels thinner. Does it? From somebody who was using my Switch last night. Yeah.

Chapter 3: What comes in the Nintendo Switch 2 box?
kind of over the idea or at least burnt out on this idea for now and so we're shelving this game and this is why this is how we reset this is why we did a game jam these are the ideas that we have and now you know we're going to work on our big game three starting this year I really want to figure I really want to see what this crash out crew thing is because that's a good title for a game yeah really good title yeah interesting
Good for them, again, identifying all of that and then be able to sustain so far, right? Usually here's something like this and it's the studio's closing. These people are leaving. We laid people off. It seems like that's not the case yet. It just seems like, hey, cards on the table. We were working on going under two and that's not going to happen.
And now we're pivoting to this and we're burnt out. So more power to them. Of course, you know, that clarity is rare sometimes from game developers for many reasons. So it's nice to see somebody go this way with it. But... Tim. Yes. Us getting the Switch 2, AgroCrab pivoting, all these things. It's huge news. It's big news. It's too big.
If I wanted smaller news, say the tiniest news I need to know about, where would I go?
You'd go to my desk, or I'm going to go right now because I'm going to plug into Ethernet so my stuff will download faster because I have too many Switch games. But bless, where would you go for small news?
Well, you would go to our last news story, the WeNews channel, where we cover all the small news items you need to know about.
