Nintendo has dropped a launch trailer for the Switch 2!


Linus Tech Tips has a pretty good breakdown of confirmed information and some speculation on additional details for the new console release.

Awesome post @Grindspine  --> Linus Definitely had a great video. Pretty funny... Nintendo... shut up and take my money. 

I wonder how available these systems will be.  Also, interesting that it has the power of a Ps4 / Xbox One... These are 10 year old systems now.  I know Nintendo is not always on the leading edge of power, and the utilize what they have extremely well... creating some of the best games.  However, a little more power may not hurt.

Then again... they've thrived for a reason.

My wife managed to snag a Mario Kart bundle from Target. What a pain the butt that whole experience was.

I will say that it looks like Nintendo is starting to jump on the performance train a little bit. And of course, now that that has happened, prices have jumped.

At this point, it's clear that they want you to go fully digital now. "Physical" carts are mostly just now keys to play the digital version. Reports from Japan are saying nearly all of the 3rd party games are key cards. Not sure how I feel about that. It's great from a reselling stand-point, but it's only temporary. Eventually servers will get shut down.

And then there's tariffs on top of all of this. Going to see how things play out before I start building a library. This might just be a way to play Nintendo games for me and nothing more.
