What is the occasion for this bonus episode?
Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. What's this? A Friday episode? What could be the occasion? The Switch 2 was announced, and we just can't help ourselves. We're going to be breaking down the announcement, the changes we know of, our initial thoughts, some concerns, and some things we hope to see. But before we get into that, some introductions are in order. I am your host, Josh. And joining me, he's 15% bigger than he was eight years ago, and his Joy-Con may have some drift. It's Ryan. Okay. You told...
You told me it was a good intro and you were happy about it. Dude, that's probably one of your best. I wasn't lying, right? I am 15% happier than I was before. I'll tell you that much. That was a solid intro.
Thank you, Ryan. Nothing like a little Pixar humor.
I love it.
What are our initial thoughts on the Switch 2 reveal?
That the kids can laugh at and the adults can snicker at.
Exactly.
Oh, man, that was good. Man, I'm excited. I'm ready. I am super excited, Ryan. We are so excited that we're doing a bonus episode for everybody, man. Yes. Because, you know, it's not every day that a new console gets announced. And, you know, people were probably like, well, you guys didn't do a bonus episode when they announced the PS5 Pro. And it's like, Yeah, but that ain't the Switch 2 either, man. People have been waiting for the Switch 2 for eight years now, man. So we are going to be talking about it. We're going to be talking about some of the things that we know. We did get a nice video from Nintendo directly about this. I mean, if you haven't been on social media, you're paying attention. This was the official...
Reveal of the switch to now we don't have a ton of information like that is kind of the key is that Nintendo gave us a look at the switch to and of course people did some digging and they're like oh I know what that port is and that kind of thing and we can kind of extrapolate some stuff like it looks like it's somewhere in the range of probably about 15% bigger than the original switch. But we had some kind of good conversation this morning as well. Like right after the reveal, our Discord server was very interested. Everybody was chatting about it. I made a comment. I made a comment. I'll make it on this show as far as like kind of just an initial gut reaction to things as well. But we really wanted to just, I mean, it's fun, man. We're gamers, dude. We're gamers.
We got a new console coming out. The world has been hyped for the Switch 2. We talked about this on our Hot Takes episode. I said, hey, the Switch 2 is absolutely releasing this year. And I think, and I'm still hopeful, that it's going to release with Super Mario Odyssey 2. We'll see about that. But yeah, man, we're excited. We want to share that excitement. So here we are. We hope you enjoy this kind of extra Friday episode. And we're going to get into it. But Ryan... We always love starting off an episode with thank yous, man. Yes. We're thankful for the listeners. We're thankful legitimately for every single person that finds this podcast or sees our logo and says, let me see what these video gamers are about.
and we're thankful for that man and when people do that and then they they like the show and they say you know i'm gonna leave you guys a review or i'm gonna go sign up to help support the show that means the world to us so there's a reason that we like to say thank you back to people and ryan we got we got not one we got two people to thank oh yeah And not only did these people sign up, but they skipped. They skipped the normal sign up and they went straight into the epic tier. Epic. And both of these people are epic because I have been so glad that they joined our community over on our Discord server. They're both awesome people, man. So a huge thank you to Helovit. Dude, Helovit is awesome. Just a cool guy.
I want to go visit him because I'm pretty sure he said he lives in Norway. Norway? Something like that. Somewhere over there. Forgive us ignorant Americans, dude. My geography is terrible, but I know he's from that area and it looks beautiful and he's always, you know, taking pictures and I'm just like, I'm a little jealous, man. So if you want to invite the podcast to come over, hell of it. Yeah.
