And cannot believe it's been a year. And here's what I've sort of been thinking.

here's what I've sort of been thinking. here's what I've sort of been thinking. So, um, Switch One came out in early So, um, Switch One came out in early So, um, Switch One came out in early 2017. So, March. So, that whole 2017 2017. So, March. So, that whole 2017 2017. So, March. So, that whole 2017 felt like year 1 of Switch one. I I felt like year 1 of Switch one. I I felt like year 1 of Switch one. I I never saw it from like March 2017 to never saw it from like March 2017 to never saw it from like March 2017 to March 2018. I just saw it as the 2017 March 2018. I just saw it as the 2017 March 2018. I just saw it as the 2017 like that stretch. Whereas Switch 2 felt like that stretch. Whereas Switch 2 felt like that stretch. Whereas Switch 2 felt a little different because it was like a little different because it was like a little different because it was like right in the middle of 2025 and then right in the middle of 2025 and then right in the middle of 2025 and then 2025 to now June 2025 to now Jul June 2025 to now June 2025 to now Jul June 2025 to now June 2025 to now Jul June 2026 kind of feels like that one year. 2026 kind of feels like that one year. 2026 kind of feels like that one year. But um I've seen a lot of people compare But um I've seen a lot of people compare But um I've seen a lot of people compare Switch One's first year with Switch 2's Switch One's first year with Switch 2's Switch One's first year with Switch 2's first year. They are comparable, but first year. They are comparable, but first year. They are comparable, but also at the same time, I said this in my also at the same time, I said this in my also at the same time, I said this in my latest video. And I don't know why how latest video. And I don't know why how latest video. And I don't know why how people don't get this, but the Switch people don't get this, but the Switch people don't get this, but the Switch one was such an anomaly. I don't think one was such an anomaly. I don't think one was such an anomaly. I don't think anything like that will ever happen in anything like that will ever happen in anything like that will ever happen in gaming ever again. And I've also like gaming ever again. And I've also like gaming ever again. And I've also like went back and thought of all the other went back and thought of all the other went back and thought of all the other launch lineups for other consoles and launch lineups for other consoles and launch lineups for other consoles and it's not even like comparable. Like of it's not even like comparable. Like of it's not even like comparable. Like of course 3DS was a blunder. 3DS sucked for course 3DS was a blunder. 3DS sucked for course 3DS was a blunder. 3DS sucked for launch. It It actually like I I wanted launch. It It actually like I I wanted launch. It It actually like I I wanted the 3DS at launch, but even I was like, the 3DS at launch, but even I was like, the 3DS at launch, but even I was like, I I think I gotta wait. And then Wii U I I think I gotta wait. And then Wii U I I think I gotta wait. And then Wii U was kind of lackluster at launch. PS4 was kind of lackluster at launch. PS4 was kind of lackluster at launch. PS4 was also a little like iffy in the first was also a little like iffy in the first was also a little like iffy in the first like year or so. And PS5, we sort of like year or so. And PS5, we sort of like year or so. And PS5, we sort of remember what PS5 was like. Switch 2 is remember what PS5 was like. Switch 2 is remember what PS5 was like. Switch 2 is such an anomaly. So, what do you guys

Switch One and other consoles? Switch One and other consoles? we talking like literally just like we talking like literally just like we talking like literally just like launch day or overall launch year? launch day or overall launch year? launch day or overall launch year? >> I I think um I I would say like the >> I I think um I I would say like the >> I I think um I I would say like the launch lineup, the offering of games and launch lineup, the offering of games and launch lineup, the offering of games and software as well as like what the software as well as like what the software as well as like what the experience was like at launch because I experience was like at launch because I experience was like at launch because I will say I think the experience of this will say I think the experience of this will say I think the experience of this launch like the launch day was actually launch like the launch day was actually launch like the launch day was actually pretty fun cuz I don't remember too much pretty fun cuz I don't remember too much pretty fun cuz I don't remember too much of what it was like when the Switch One of what it was like when the Switch One of what it was like when the Switch One came out cuz I didn't get it on day one. came out cuz I didn't get it on day one. came out cuz I didn't get it on day one.

Yeah, I remember even bringing my uh me. Yeah, I remember even bringing my uh Oh, sorry, real quick. I remember Oh, sorry, real quick. I remember Oh, sorry, real quick. I remember bringing the Switch 2 to work the next bringing the Switch 2 to work the next bringing the Switch 2 to work the next couple days and showing everyone like, couple days and showing everyone like, couple days and showing everyone like, "Oh, this is how you play. This is what "Oh, this is how you play. This is what "Oh, this is how you play. This is what Zelda looks like in handheld in 60 fps." Zelda looks like in handheld in 60 fps."

And then better than I remember it." And then better than I remember it." And then later, my boss was like telling me, he's later, my boss was like telling me, he's later, my boss was like telling me, he's like, "Oh, I might want to get the like, "Oh, I might want to get the like, "Oh, I might want to get the Switch 2. What's it what games does it Switch 2. What's it what games does it Switch 2. What's it what games does it have on it?" So, I was telling him and have on it?" So, I was telling him and have on it?" So, I was telling him and then I remember I saw Wario 64 Link and then I remember I saw Wario 64 Link and then I remember I saw Wario 64 Link and I sent it to him immediately. I was I sent it to him immediately. I was I sent it to him immediately. I was like, "Get it now. It's it's going to like, "Get it now. It's it's going to like, "Get it now. It's it's going to sell out quick." And then he eventually sell out quick." And then he eventually sell out quick." And then he eventually got it a few weeks later. Yeah.

got it a few weeks later. Yeah. got it a few weeks later. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Say like I have to say this is probably >> Say like I have to say this is probably >> Say like I have to say this is probably the most wellprepared that I've ever the most wellprepared that I've ever the most wellprepared that I've ever seen Nintendo for the launch of a seen Nintendo for the launch of a seen Nintendo for the launch of a console. console. console. >> Yeah. Or any like um gaming console for >> Yeah. Or any like um gaming console for >> Yeah. Or any like um gaming console for that matter. I remember PS5. I mean that that matter. I remember PS5. I mean that that matter. I remember PS5. I mean that was also during like the pandemic so it was also during like the pandemic so it was also during like the pandemic so it was tougher but like I remember it was was tougher but like I remember it was was tougher but like I remember it was uh very very very difficult to get a PS5 uh very very very difficult to get a PS5 uh very very very difficult to get a PS5 at launch. Even a Switch OLED. Switch at launch. Even a Switch OLED. Switch at launch. Even a Switch OLED. Switch OLED was very difficult to get at OLED was very difficult to get at OLED was very difficult to get at launch. Um, anything even after the launch. Um, anything even after the launch. Um, anything even after the pandemic, even like a ste like Steam pandemic, even like a ste like Steam pandemic, even like a ste like Steam Deck is a whole other thing, but like uh Deck is a whole other thing, but like uh Deck is a whole other thing, but like uh a lot of systems were just very a lot of systems were just very a lot of systems were just very difficult to get at launch. And for difficult to get at launch. And for difficult to get at launch. And for Switch 2, everyone was saying, "Oh, um, Switch 2, everyone was saying, "Oh, um, Switch 2, everyone was saying, "Oh, um, uh, I'm I'm so excited to play it at uh, I'm I'm so excited to play it at uh, I'm I'm so excited to play it at launch if I'm going to get it." But launch if I'm going to get it." But launch if I'm going to get it." But everyone who wanted to get it managed to everyone who wanted to get it managed to everyone who wanted to get it managed to get it. So, that was very great. get it. So, that was very great. get it. So, that was very great. actually actually actually >> they were they were really good on it >> they were they were really good on it >> they were they were really good on it which surprised me because of even back which surprised me because of even back which surprised me because of even back then like metal scarcity a year ago is then like metal scarcity a year ago is then like metal scarcity a year ago is still a very strong thing. Um but for still a very strong thing. Um but for still a very strong thing. Um but for people who wanted to get it like they people who wanted to get it like they people who wanted to get it like they were prepared and that was a really good were prepared and that was a really good were prepared and that was a really good sign.

sign. sign. >> Yeah. And um even now like you can just >> Yeah. And um even now like you can just >> Yeah. And um even now like you can just go on any retail store and get it. So, go on any retail store and get it. So, go on any retail store and get it. So, and I I'm sure people are hopping on it and I I'm sure people are hopping on it and I I'm sure people are hopping on it much more now because of the uh much more now because of the uh much more now because of the uh announcement of the possible or not announcement of the possible or not announcement of the possible or not possible, the announcement of the price possible, the announcement of the price possible, the announcement of the price hike eventually. I was going to say hike eventually. I was going to say hike eventually. I was going to say eventual price hike because it's good eventual price hike because it's good eventual price hike because it's good that they kind of gave people a warning that they kind of gave people a warning that they kind of gave people a warning and like, hey, it's going to go up in and like, hey, it's going to go up in and like, hey, it's going to go up in price now.

Even if like even if it's just you're still playing Switch One games you're still playing Switch One games you're still playing Switch One games like we said, you know, they would be like we said, you know, they would be like we said, you know, they would be playing a lot better or looking a lot playing a lot better or looking a lot playing a lot better or looking a lot better on the on the Switch 2 and better on the on the Switch 2 and better on the on the Switch 2 and everything. So, it was still worth it everything. So, it was still worth it everything. So, it was still worth it even if maybe games that you were even if maybe games that you were even if maybe games that you were looking for weren't out yet.

looking for weren't out yet. looking for weren't out yet. >> Yeah, especially now with handheld >> Yeah, especially now with handheld >> Yeah, especially now with handheld boost. I think this is the perfect boost. I think this is the perfect boost. I think this is the perfect backwards compatibility console cuz uh backwards compatibility console cuz uh backwards compatibility console cuz uh handheld boost is really really great. handheld boost is really really great. handheld boost is really really great. I'm very impressed by it. I've been uh I'm very impressed by it. I've been uh I'm very impressed by it.

But um like getting really good. But um >> uh that whole like um handheld boost uh >> uh that whole like um handheld boost uh >> uh that whole like um handheld boost uh feature kind of just came out of feature kind of just came out of feature kind of just came out of nowhere. And that was what everyone was nowhere. And that was what everyone was nowhere. And that was what everyone was like wanting at launch. They were like, like wanting at launch. They were like, like wanting at launch. They were like, "Oh, um Switch 2 is great, but in "Oh, um Switch 2 is great, but in "Oh, um Switch 2 is great, but in handheld a lot of these games are kind handheld a lot of these games are kind handheld a lot of these games are kind of stretched out and they don't look of stretched out and they don't look of stretched out and they don't look very good. They actually look worse." very good. They actually look worse." very good. They actually look worse." And I was like, "Yeah, that that's a And I was like, "Yeah, that that's a And I was like, "Yeah, that that's a good point. Uh hopefully they fix that." good point. Uh hopefully they fix that." good point. Uh hopefully they fix that." And handheld boost is just it completely And handheld boost is just it completely And handheld boost is just it completely fixes it. It it's it's a really cool fixes it. It it's it's a really cool fixes it. It it's it's a really cool solution as well. They just make your solution as well. They just make your solution as well. They just make your Switch One act like a sorry, they make Switch One act like a sorry, they make Switch One act like a sorry, they make your Switch 2 act like a docked Switch your Switch 2 act like a docked Switch your Switch 2 act like a docked Switch One. And I thought that was a very One. And I thought that was a very One. And I thought that was a very genius way to kind of fix that. When we genius way to kind of fix that. When we genius way to kind of fix that. When we said like um a lot of us were going to said like um a lot of us were going to said like um a lot of us were going to get it anyway, I felt the same. I was get it anyway, I felt the same. I was get it anyway, I felt the same. I was like, I'm going to get it now. The like, I'm going to get it now. The like, I'm going to get it now. The launch lineup looks all right to me, but launch lineup looks all right to me, but launch lineup looks all right to me, but eventually we're going to get Zelda eventually we're going to get Zelda eventually we're going to get Zelda Xenolade Fire Emblem, so like, might as Xenolade Fire Emblem, so like, might as Xenolade Fire Emblem, so like, might as well get it now before a price increase.

well get it now before a price increase. well get it now before a price increase. And And And I was initially like shocked with the I was initially like shocked with the I was initially like shocked with the 450 price point cuz I thought it would 450 price point cuz I thought it would 450 price point cuz I thought it would be like a flat 400 or 399 or whatever, be like a flat 400 or 399 or whatever, be like a flat 400 or 399 or whatever, but then I was kind of blown away during but then I was kind of blown away during but then I was kind of blown away during the presentation when I like it hit me the presentation when I like it hit me the presentation when I like it hit me that it's going to have a 120 Hz screen. that it's going to have a 120 Hz screen. that it's going to have a 120 Hz screen. I was like that that was not on my cards I was like that that was not on my cards I was like that that was not on my cards at all. Everyone was like, "Oh, how at all. Everyone was like, "Oh, how at all. Everyone was like, "Oh, how powerful do you think the Switch 2 is powerful do you think the Switch 2 is powerful do you think the Switch 2 is going to be?" I was like, "Yeah." Um I I going to be?" I was like, "Yeah." Um I I going to be?" I was like, "Yeah." Um I I also even thought that 4K 60 fps was also even thought that 4K 60 fps was also even thought that 4K 60 fps was pushing it. I was like, "This is pushing it. I was like, "This is pushing it. I was like, "This is Nintendo we're talking about. Nintendo Nintendo we're talking about. Nintendo Nintendo we're talking about. Nintendo is not going to like go full on on the is not going to like go full on on the is not going to like go full on on the technology side. Like it's going to be technology side. Like it's going to be technology side. Like it's going to be 4K. Maybe some of the games will max out 4K. Maybe some of the games will max out 4K. Maybe some of the games will max out at 30 fps or like something like that." at 30 fps or like something like that." at 30 fps or like something like that." But 4K 60F was 60 fps was great. 120 Hz But 4K 60F was 60 fps was great. 120 Hz But 4K 60F was 60 fps was great. 120 Hz was not in my mind at all. I didn't even was not in my mind at all. I didn't even was not in my mind at all. I didn't even consider it. that was not even in any of consider it. that was not even in any of consider it. that was not even in any of my like technology predictions. Like I my like technology predictions. Like I my like technology predictions. Like I was like mouse controls this that and was like mouse controls this that and was like mouse controls this that and the other uh game chat like I had those the other uh game chat like I had those the other uh game chat like I had those kinds of predictions but like 120 Hz was kinds of predictions but like 120 Hz was kinds of predictions but like 120 Hz was something I was like that's just out of something I was like that's just out of something I was like that's just out of the question. But that was the biggest the question. But that was the biggest the question. But that was the biggest surprise for me in the hardware. So I surprise for me in the hardware. So I surprise for me in the hardware. So I was very very very happy to see that and was very very very happy to see that and was very very very happy to see that and that kind of justified the price for me that kind of justified the price for me that kind of justified the price for me for the hardware.

for the hardware. for the hardware. >> For me I was expecting actually 500. >> For me I was expecting actually 500. >> For me I was expecting actually 500. >> Yeah. And I I was like I I would not >> Yeah. And I I was like I I would not >> Yeah. And I I was like I I would not like to see it, but in a from a as like to see it, but in a from a as like to see it, but in a from a as realistic an expression as I can, I realistic an expression as I can, I realistic an expression as I can, I would totally see 500 at launch just would totally see 500 at launch just would totally see 500 at launch just because metals are like regardless of because metals are like regardless of because metals are like regardless of the specs. the specs. the specs. >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> costs are costs are shaving up through >> costs are costs are shaving up through >> costs are costs are shaving up through the roof. Shipping is having additional the roof. Shipping is having additional the roof. Shipping is having additional fees at every expense. [music] And I fees at every expense. [music] And I fees at every expense. [music] And I know sometimes Nintendo likes to sell know sometimes Nintendo likes to sell know sometimes Nintendo likes to sell things at a little bit of a loss. Um, things at a little bit of a loss. Um, things at a little bit of a loss. Um, but even then I was fully expecting 500. but even then I was fully expecting 500. but even then I was fully expecting 500. And even with 500, I would still pick it And even with 500, I would still pick it And even with 500, I would still pick it up at launch. Um, cuz I'm from a place up at launch. Um, cuz I'm from a place up at launch. Um, cuz I'm from a place of comfort. And then I also had most of of comfort. And then I also had most of of comfort. And then I also had most of my summer is relatively free compared to my summer is relatively free compared to my summer is relatively free compared to the rest of my working period just the rest of my working period just the rest of my working period just because of my my uh current work because of my my uh current work because of my my uh current work situation.

powerful than I expected and yeah um powerful than I expected and yeah um with um yeah like a lot of people don't with um yeah like a lot of people don't with um yeah like a lot of people don't like talk about the fact that Switch 2 like talk about the fact that Switch 2 like talk about the fact that Switch 2 comes with the dock and with my Steam comes with the dock and with my Steam comes with the dock and with my Steam Deck I I have a dock for it, but I had Deck I I have a dock for it, but I had Deck I I have a dock for it, but I had to get a separate third-p partyy dock, to get a separate third-p partyy dock, to get a separate third-p partyy dock, which thankfully universally works which thankfully universally works which thankfully universally works because a Steam Deck is like a PC, so it because a Steam Deck is like a PC, so it because a Steam Deck is like a PC, so it like uses universal like third party like uses universal like third party like uses universal like third party docs. But the first party Valve dock is docs. But the first party Valve dock is docs. But the first party Valve dock is insanely overpriced. Like, if anyone insanely overpriced.

I looking back at it, I think the thing. I looking back at it, I think the thing. I looking back at it, I think the two biggest annoyances and upsets I had two biggest annoyances and upsets I had two biggest annoyances and upsets I had with Switch 2 and still have, which in with Switch 2 and still have, which in with Switch 2 and still have, which in the grand scheme of it isn't like the the grand scheme of it isn't like the the grand scheme of it isn't like the biggest deal, are um Mario Kart World at biggest deal, are um Mario Kart World at biggest deal, are um Mario Kart World at $80 and Game Key cards. And one of $80 and Game Key cards. And one of $80 and Game Key cards. And one of hopefully both of these are being like hopefully both of these are being like hopefully both of these are being like alleviated, which I will talk about alleviated, which I will talk about alleviated, which I will talk about later. But like what do you guys think later. But like what do you guys think later. But like what do you guys think of both of these things?

of both of these things? of both of these things? >> Yeah, with Mario Kart World like Yeah. I >> Yeah, with Mario Kart World like Yeah. I >> Yeah, with Mario Kart World like Yeah. I was like, $80? What are what are we was like, $80? What are what are we was like, $80? What are what are we doing here? I I I have my like doing here? I I I have my like doing here? I I I have my like conspiracy theories that maybe that they conspiracy theories that maybe that they conspiracy theories that maybe that they were trying to use Mario Kart as well to were trying to use Mario Kart as well to were trying to use Mario Kart as well to cover prices for a lot of things. cover prices for a lot of things. cover prices for a lot of things. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> But but still, they didn't really do >> But but still, they didn't really do >> But but still, they didn't really do much to to show you that like, hey, this much to to show you that like, hey, this much to to show you that like, hey, this is worth that that 80. is worth that that 80. is worth that that 80. >> But it didn't >> But it didn't >> But it didn't impact me as much when they offered it impact me as much when they offered it impact me as much when they offered it as a bundle.

I managed to get the bundle and I was like for me digital bundle and I was like for me digital bundle and I was like for me digital games like I I prefer to get a physical games like I I prefer to get a physical games like I I prefer to get a physical game, but if it's a digital game that game, but if it's a digital game that game, but if it's a digital game that I'm not like if I'm not as excited about I'm not like if I'm not as excited about I'm not like if I'm not as excited about it, then I don't care if it's digital. it, then I don't care if it's digital. it, then I don't care if it's digital. Like even Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is digital Like even Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is digital Like even Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is digital on Switch One, but so I was like Mario on Switch One, but so I was like Mario on Switch One, but so I was like Mario Kart World digital, I don't really care.

Kart World digital, I don't really care. Kart World digital, I don't really care. That's not it's it's not like my That's not it's it's not like my That's not it's it's not like my Xenolade that I want to like have on the Xenolade that I want to like have on the Xenolade that I want to like have on the shelf, you know? shelf, you know? shelf, you know? >> It's digital on my Switch One, too.

And I definitely understand like And I definitely understand like And I definitely understand like especially like coming coming from especially like coming coming from especially like coming coming from seeing everything from the Nintendo 64 seeing everything from the Nintendo 64 seeing everything from the Nintendo 64 era and the GameCube era and how format era and the GameCube era and how format era and the GameCube era and how format kept [music] a lot of third parties away kept [music] a lot of third parties away kept [music] a lot of third parties away from putting games on a Nintendo system. from putting games on a Nintendo system. from putting games on a Nintendo system. that that that >> if having a game key card is the >> if having a game key card is the >> if having a game key card is the difference between [music] difference between [music] difference between [music] having the level of Square Enix and having the level of Square Enix and having the level of Square Enix and Capcom support that we've got or not Capcom support that we've got or not Capcom support that we've got or not getting it getting it getting it >> exactly >> exactly >> exactly >> then I'll take the G I'll take the game >> then I'll take the G I'll take the game >> then I'll take the G I'll take the game key card if that if that's what we have key card if that if that's what we have key card if that if that's what we have to do to do to do >> that that is that's the main crux of it >> that that is that's the main crux of it >> that that is that's the main crux of it is like a lot of I I told some of my is like a lot of I I told some of my is like a lot of I I told some of my friends this I was like the problem with friends this I was like the problem with friends this I was like the problem with game key cards or like the upset with game key cards or like the upset with game key cards or like the upset with game key cards comes from the fact that game key cards comes from the fact that game key cards comes from the fact that uh Switch 2 is a Switch 2 like the uh Switch 2 is a Switch 2 like the uh Switch 2 is a Switch 2 like the Switch You can't use discs. This is not Switch You can't use discs. This is not Switch You can't use discs. This is not like a PSP. Like, you know how the PSP like a PSP. Like, you know how the PSP like a PSP. Like, you know how the PSP had like those weird discs that you put had like those weird discs that you put had like those weird discs that you put into the handheld? Like the Switch can't into the handheld? Like the Switch can't into the handheld? Like the Switch can't do that. And if you want discs, then do that. And if you want discs, then do that. And if you want discs, then we're not going to get a Switch. We're we're not going to get a Switch. We're we're not going to get a Switch. We're not going to get a hybrid console. We're not going to get a hybrid console. We're not going to get a hybrid console. We're going to have to get a PS5 like level going to have to get a PS5 like level going to have to get a PS5 like level thing. And that's not what Nintendo thing. And that's not what Nintendo thing. And that's not what Nintendo wants to do. And that's not what wants to do. And that's not what wants to do. And that's not what Nintendo has kind of worked towards. So, Nintendo has kind of worked towards. So, Nintendo has kind of worked towards. So, unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, the I didn't really realize like this the I didn't really realize like this the I didn't really realize like this didn't click to me. I remember before didn't click to me. I remember before didn't click to me. I remember before the Switch 2 was announced and before the Switch 2 was announced and before the Switch 2 was announced and before the Direct, I kept telling my friends, I the Direct, I kept telling my friends, I the Direct, I kept telling my friends, I was like, "Oh, third parties, I hope

was like, "Oh, third parties, I hope was like, "Oh, third parties, I hope they like put their games on the they like put their games on the they like put their games on the cartridge. Like, that's going to be cartridge. Like, that's going to be cartridge. Like, that's going to be tough." Like, uh, it would be cool if tough." Like, uh, it would be cool if tough." Like, uh, it would be cool if everything is on the cart. And I didn't everything is on the cart. And I didn't everything is on the cart. And I didn't realize realize realize that. Um, putting everything on the cart that. Um, putting everything on the cart that. Um, putting everything on the cart is not easy and it's not cheap either. is not easy and it's not cheap either. is not easy and it's not cheap either. Like the 64 GB cartridge are are Like the 64 GB cartridge are are Like the 64 GB cartridge are are expensive. But um I always kind of like expensive. But um I always kind of like expensive. But um I always kind of like had in my head I was like, "Oh, um had in my head I was like, "Oh, um had in my head I was like, "Oh, um Switch One has all these different Switch One has all these different Switch One has all these different cartridge sizes. Like all these games cartridge sizes. Like all these games cartridge sizes. Like all these games like all fit on the cartridge. Even like all fit on the cartridge. Even like all fit on the cartridge. Even Tears of the Kingdom, which is like 32 Tears of the Kingdom, which is like 32 Tears of the Kingdom, which is like 32 gigs, or Witcher 3, which is 32 gigs, gigs, or Witcher 3, which is 32 gigs, gigs, or Witcher 3, which is 32 gigs, like it all fits on the cartridge. like it all fits on the cartridge. like it all fits on the cartridge. They'll do the same for Switch 2." But They'll do the same for Switch 2." But They'll do the same for Switch 2." But at launch, I was a little shocked to see at launch, I was a little shocked to see at launch, I was a little shocked to see all these games key cards. But the all these games key cards. But the all these games key cards. But the biggest upsets were the ones that were biggest upsets were the ones that were biggest upsets were the ones that were like Puyo Puyo Tetris, which was 4 GB on like Puyo Puyo Tetris, which was 4 GB on like Puyo Puyo Tetris, which was 4 GB on a game key card or like Bravely Default a game key card or like Bravely Default a game key card or like Bravely Default 10 gigs on a game key card. And I was 10 gigs on a game key card. And I was 10 gigs on a game key card. And I was like, is there no like other options? like, is there no like other options? like, is there no like other options? because then I was like that is on because then I was like that is on because then I was like that is on Nintendo for providing more options Nintendo for providing more options Nintendo for providing more options instead of just being like digital game instead of just being like digital game instead of just being like digital game key card or 64 gigs and if they want to key card or 64 gigs and if they want to key card or 64 gigs and if they want to put it on the cartridge they have to go put it on the cartridge they have to go put it on the cartridge they have to go all the way to 64 gigs which is like all the way to 64 gigs which is like all the way to 64 gigs which is like of course like publishers and companies of course like publishers and companies of course like publishers and companies have money to spend but when you like have money to spend but when you like have money to spend but when you like see the things like obviously they're see the things like obviously they're see the things like obviously they're probably going to cheap out on it. So probably going to cheap out on it. So probably going to cheap out on it. So that's why I'm like hopefully we get that's why I'm like hopefully we get that's why I'm like hopefully we get smaller sizes so they don't have to smaller sizes so they don't have to smaller sizes so they don't have to spend as much money and they can still spend as much money and they can still spend as much money and they can still put everything on the cartridge because

put everything on the cartridge because put everything on the cartridge because they're kind of understanding now that they're kind of understanding now that they're kind of understanding now that especially developers like Falcom. especially developers like Falcom. especially developers like Falcom. Falcom is a very good example because a Falcom is a very good example because a Falcom is a very good example because a lot of their games which are game key lot of their games which are game key lot of their games which are game key cards are just not selling well at all cards are just not selling well at all cards are just not selling well at all which is interesting. So hopefully which is interesting. So hopefully which is interesting. So hopefully they're taking that into account and they're taking that into account and they're taking that into account and maybe working with Nintendo to like get maybe working with Nintendo to like get maybe working with Nintendo to like get some smaller cartridge sizes cuz even some smaller cartridge sizes cuz even some smaller cartridge sizes cuz even some indie games are supposedly on some indie games are supposedly on some indie games are supposedly on smaller cartridges. So hopefully that smaller cartridges. So hopefully that smaller cartridges. So hopefully that translates over to um uh like other um translates over to um uh like other um translates over to um uh like other um games as well, like other bigger quality games as well, like other bigger quality games as well, like other bigger quality games. But it's a whole um kind of idea games. But it's a whole um kind of idea games. But it's a whole um kind of idea of it being a hybrid system and it using of it being a hybrid system and it using of it being a hybrid system and it using cartridges. So it is sort of the cartridges. So it is sort of the cartridges. So it is sort of the trade-off there. But um trade-off there. But um trade-off there. But um >> no, I sure hope so because especially >> no, I sure hope so because especially >> no, I sure hope so because especially when you were bringing back up Bravely when you were bringing back up Bravely when you were bringing back up Bravely Default. I remember cuz I've never got Default. I remember cuz I've never got Default. I remember cuz I've never got into that series and the closest thing I into that series and the closest thing I into that series and the closest thing I could get was Bravely Default 2, but I could get was Bravely Default 2, but I could get was Bravely Default 2, but I still wanted to play the first game and still wanted to play the first game and still wanted to play the first game and when they announced it was going to be when they announced it was going to be when they announced it was going to be on Switch 2, I was like, "All right, on Switch 2, I was like, "All right, on Switch 2, I was like, "All right, awesome." And then I found out it was awesome." And then I found out it was awesome." And then I found out it was going to be a game key card and that going to be a game key card and that going to be a game key card and that hindered my choice to pick it up. I hindered my choice to pick it up. I hindered my choice to pick it up. I still don't want to pick it up as a game still don't want to pick it up as a game still don't want to pick it up as a game key card to be honest. Um just cuz again key card to be honest. Um just cuz again key card to be honest. Um just cuz again like that file size does not warrant a like that file size does not warrant a like that file size does not warrant a game key card in my opinion.

game key card in my opinion. game key card in my opinion. >> Um but for the Switch 2 lineup um with >> Um but for the Switch 2 lineup um with >> Um but for the Switch 2 lineup um with it starting out with all those uh it starting out with all those uh it starting out with all those uh highdefinition increases and then Mario highdefinition increases and then Mario highdefinition increases and then Mario Kart World.

I did not necessarily have a problem. I did not necessarily have a problem. I did not see any issue with it at all because see any issue with it at all because see any issue with it at all because people are saying, "Oh, they people are saying, "Oh, they people are saying, "Oh, they >> like brought the price up of physical >> like brought the price up of physical >> like brought the price up of physical games or whatever."

physical games are more expensive now." physical games are more expensive now." I'm like, "No, that was the price that I'm like, "No, that was the price that I'm like, "No, that was the price that they were always going to be." Like, um, they were always going to be." Like, um, they were always going to be." Like, um, Splatoon was always going to be 60. Splatoon was always going to be 60. Splatoon was always going to be 60. Yoshi was always going to be 70.

Now they're just giving you a $10 cheaper they're just giving you a $10 cheaper they're just giving you a $10 cheaper version because I failed to see how version because I failed to see how version because I failed to see how Splatoon Raid Splatoon Raiders as a new Splatoon Raid Splatoon Raiders as a new Splatoon Raid Splatoon Raiders as a new Switch 2 game would have a base price Switch 2 game would have a base price Switch 2 game would have a base price before the physical digital split of before the physical digital split of before the physical digital split of $50. So I like there was no price $50. So I like there was no price $50. So I like there was no price increase. increase. increase. >> Like Splatoon was always going to be $60 >> Like Splatoon was always going to be $60 >> Like Splatoon was always going to be $60 games. games. games. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.

Like I think um uh what's that? Game Builder Garage was uh what's that? Game Builder Garage was uh what's that? Game Builder Garage was cheaper and then Metroid Prime Remasters cheaper and then Metroid Prime Remasters cheaper and then Metroid Prime Remasters was cheaper. Even now Rhythm Heaven is was cheaper. Even now Rhythm Heaven is was cheaper. Even now Rhythm Heaven is cheaper and then Tears of the Kingdom cheaper and then Tears of the Kingdom cheaper and then Tears of the Kingdom was more expensive. That was their first was more expensive. That was their first was more expensive. That was their first time doing $70. So I think the biggest time doing $70. So I think the biggest time doing $70. So I think the biggest upset is an $80 game. Like $80 games, upset is an $80 game. Like $80 games, upset is an $80 game. Like $80 games, it's not good. I I don't like to have to it's not good. I I don't like to have to it's not good. I I don't like to have to spend $80 for a game because I'm still spend $80 for a game because I'm still spend $80 for a game because I'm still getting used to spending $70 for a game.

getting used to spending $70 for a game. getting used to spending $70 for a game. But now, if a game is priced at $80, god But now, if a game is priced at $80, god But now, if a game is priced at $80, god forbid, hopefully Walmart or Amazon will forbid, hopefully Walmart or Amazon will forbid, hopefully Walmart or Amazon will price match the digital version of the price match the digital version of the price match the digital version of the game, which will probably be 70.

And I'm no like um sales analyst like someone no like um sales analyst like someone no like um sales analyst like someone like Bo or OJR, but um I remember them like Bo or OJR, but um I remember them like Bo or OJR, but um I remember them saying some of this some of this stuff saying some of this some of this stuff saying some of this some of this stuff in some of their videos, but Mario Kart in some of their videos, but Mario Kart in some of their videos, but Mario Kart World had a very good like sales World had a very good like sales World had a very good like sales trajectory during the launch because a trajectory during the launch because a trajectory during the launch because a lot of people got the bundle, a lot of lot of people got the bundle, a lot of lot of people got the bundle, a lot of people got the game, and then they people got the game, and then they people got the game, and then they eventually phased the bundle out. The eventually phased the bundle out. The eventually phased the bundle out. The they're like they kind of discontinued they're like they kind of discontinued they're like they kind of discontinued the bundle, replaced it with Legend Za the bundle, replaced it with Legend Za the bundle, replaced it with Legend Za and Piccopia and stuff, right?

and Piccopia and stuff, right? and Piccopia and stuff, right? um when they phased out the bundle, the um when they phased out the bundle, the um when they phased out the bundle, the sales kind of like tapered and slowly sales kind of like tapered and slowly sales kind of like tapered and slowly started to flatline. And some people started to flatline. And some people started to flatline. And some people even said like it had like even said like it had like even said like it had like um a worse like um I I don't even know um a worse like um I I don't even know um a worse like um I I don't even know how to describe it. Like the later sales how to describe it. Like the later sales how to describe it. Like the later sales of Mario Kart World weren't as good of Mario Kart World weren't as good of Mario Kart World weren't as good compared to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Mario compared to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Mario compared to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Mario Kart 8 on Wii U and stuff like that. Or Kart 8 on Wii U and stuff like that. Or Kart 8 on Wii U and stuff like that. Or I I don't know about the Wii U cuz the I I don't know about the Wii U cuz the I I don't know about the Wii U cuz the Wii U was like a failure. like no one Wii U was like a failure. like no one Wii U was like a failure. like no one freaking bought Mario Kart on the Wii U. freaking bought Mario Kart on the Wii U. freaking bought Mario Kart on the Wii U. But what I'm saying is hopefully But what I'm saying is hopefully But what I'm saying is hopefully Nintendo sees the slowdown and says, Nintendo sees the slowdown and says, Nintendo sees the slowdown and says, "Oh, maybe like uh the $80 is a big "Oh, maybe like uh the $80 is a big "Oh, maybe like uh the $80 is a big barrier without the bundle. Let's stick barrier without the bundle. Let's stick barrier without the bundle. Let's stick to the max at 70." So, to the max at 70." So, to the max at 70." So, >> conspiracy has it that Nintendo has seen >> conspiracy has it that Nintendo has seen >> conspiracy has it that Nintendo has seen that based off of maybe supposedly the that based off of maybe supposedly the that based off of maybe supposedly the lack of sales for Mario Tennis Fever lack of sales for Mario Tennis Fever lack of sales for Mario Tennis Fever with people thinking that that is what with people thinking that that is what with people thinking that that is what led us to getting the led us to getting the led us to getting the >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Like you would think Mario is like your >> Like you would think Mario is like your >> Like you would think Mario is like your go-to million seller, you know?

go-to million seller, you know? go-to million seller, you know? >> Yeah. And fever is related is something >> Yeah. And fever is related is something >> Yeah. And fever is related is something related related related to something that could be shared for to something that could be shared for to something that could be shared for all generations too. Like like kids can all generations too. Like like kids can all generations too. Like like kids can pick it up easily. Like it's a family pick it up easily. Like it's a family pick it up easily. Like it's a family game. Uh it's meant for like all gens game. Uh it's meant for like all gens game. Uh it's meant for like all gens and it wouldn't even hit a million. and it wouldn't even hit a million. and it wouldn't even hit a million. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Interesting. But um yeah, that's >> Yeah. Interesting. But um yeah, that's >> Yeah. Interesting. But um yeah, that's um I guess uh that that is one thing I'm um I guess uh that that is one thing I'm um I guess uh that that is one thing I'm interested to see. Uh variable pricing. interested to see. Uh variable pricing. interested to see. Uh variable pricing. I'm okay with that. It gives a a smaller I'm okay with that. It gives a a smaller I'm okay with that. It gives a a smaller barrier of entry for games like Star barrier of entry for games like Star barrier of entry for games like Star Fox, which might need that kind of boost Fox, which might need that kind of boost Fox, which might need that kind of boost in popularity. So hopefully like uh that in popularity. So hopefully like uh that in popularity. So hopefully like uh that game sells well. That game does look game sells well. That game does look game sells well. That game does look pretty good. Um pretty good. Um pretty good. Um >> I really hope that does approachability. >> I really hope that does approachability. >> I really hope that does approachability. >> Yeah. And then um even like a game like >> Yeah. And then um even like a game like >> Yeah. And then um even like a game like Fire Emblem, like I uh Fire Emblem, like I uh Fire Emblem, like I uh I I say 7060 because other JRPGs like I I say 7060 because other JRPGs like I I say 7060 because other JRPGs like Final Fantasy, Persona, Metaphor, Final Fantasy, Persona, Metaphor, Final Fantasy, Persona, Metaphor, they've always they've now hit the 70 they've always they've now hit the 70 they've always they've now hit the 70 price point. And I think Fire Emblem, price point. And I think Fire Emblem, price point. And I think Fire Emblem, from what I saw, it looks like it's from what I saw, it looks like it's from what I saw, it looks like it's going to be a pretty expensive game. So going to be a pretty expensive game. So going to be a pretty expensive game. So I think it might warrant the 70. But I think it might warrant the 70. But I think it might warrant the 70. But we'll we'll see. We'll see about that.

we'll we'll see. We'll see about that. we'll we'll see. We'll see about that. But like I said, if I can get it for 60, But like I said, if I can get it for 60, But like I said, if I can get it for 60, then that's amazing. Um, oh yeah, one then that's amazing. Um, oh yeah, one then that's amazing. Um, oh yeah, one more thing I want to say. The biggest more thing I want to say. The biggest more thing I want to say. The biggest game key card upset, aside from small game key card upset, aside from small game key card upset, aside from small games being on a game key card, is uh games being on a game key card, is uh games being on a game key card, is uh Piccopia, which kind of scares me. I'm Piccopia, which kind of scares me. I'm Piccopia, which kind of scares me. I'm like, why did they choose to put that on like, why did they choose to put that on like, why did they choose to put that on the game key card? And I hope that means the game key card? And I hope that means the game key card? And I hope that means >> I I I don't know what it means, but I I >> I I I don't know what it means, but I I >> I I I don't know what it means, but I I hope winds and waves don't have the same hope winds and waves don't have the same hope winds and waves don't have the same fate. But that is a very random thing fate. But that is a very random thing fate. But that is a very random thing that Popio was on a game key card and I that Popio was on a game key card and I that Popio was on a game key card and I I just don't know why. I just don't know why. I just don't know why. >> Pokemon company thing or was it a Koe >> Pokemon company thing or was it a Koe >> Pokemon company thing or was it a Koe Techmo thing? Like Techmo thing? Like Techmo thing?

Um >> I think Pokemon will be >> I think Pokemon will be >> I think Pokemon will be >> like I don't think Pokemon will be >> like I don't think Pokemon will be >> like I don't think Pokemon will be because we got Legends ZA, you know, on because we got Legends ZA, you know, on because we got Legends ZA, you know, on the on the cartridge. So the on the cartridge. So the on the cartridge. So >> that was also Switch 2 edition though to >> that was also Switch 2 edition though to >> that was also Switch 2 edition though to be fair because Switch 2 editions are be fair because Switch 2 editions are be fair because Switch 2 editions are always like on the card in the sense always like on the card in the sense always like on the card in the sense that like it is both the Switch one and that like it is both the Switch one and that like it is both the Switch one and Switch Switch one version and the Switch Switch Switch one version and the Switch Switch Switch one version and the Switch 2 patch on the card. So it's like a 2 patch on the card. So it's like a 2 patch on the card. So it's like a interchangeable thing. What's cool is interchangeable thing. What's cool is interchangeable thing. What's cool is like you can get that Switch 2 cartridge like you can get that Switch 2 cartridge like you can get that Switch 2 cartridge and put it in your Switch one and still and put it in your Switch one and still and put it in your Switch one and still play it without the patch. So play it without the patch. So play it without the patch. So >> yeah.

>> yeah. >> yeah. >> Yeah. So hopefully the first uh mainline >> Yeah. So hopefully the first uh mainline >> Yeah. So hopefully the first uh mainline Pokemon like full-on Switch to game will Pokemon like full-on Switch to game will Pokemon like full-on Switch to game will not be a game key card. And if it is, not be a game key card. And if it is, not be a game key card. And if it is, then that might be a Pokemon exclusive then that might be a Pokemon exclusive then that might be a Pokemon exclusive thing. But we'll see. We'll see about thing. But we'll see. We'll see about thing. But we'll see. We'll see about where that goes. where that goes. where that goes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.

the Switch 2 editions. the Switch 2 editions. >> Like how how do you feel? Like I I was >> Like how how do you feel? Like I I was >> Like how how do you feel? Like I I was saying before like it's hard to compare saying before like it's hard to compare saying before like it's hard to compare it to Switch One. Switch one was an it to Switch One. Switch one was an it to Switch One. Switch one was an anomaly. It was like one of the best anomaly. It was like one of the best anomaly. It was like one of the best launches ever. So what do you guys think launches ever. So what do you guys think launches ever. So what do you guys think about what we have for Switch 2 versus about what we have for Switch 2 versus about what we have for Switch 2 versus Switch One? Switch One?

But at the same thinking it would be. But at the same thinking it would be. But at the same time, I feel like a lot of people's time, I feel like a lot of people's time, I feel like a lot of people's upset or discontent with it is related upset or discontent with it is related upset or discontent with it is related to which series is getting what in its to which series is getting what in its to which series is getting what in its first year. Yeah, we did start off with first year. Yeah, we did start off with first year. Yeah, we did start off with Mario Kart World, but the magic faded in Mario Kart World, but the magic faded in Mario Kart World, but the magic faded in that one in like 2 3 weeks when people that one in like 2 3 weeks when people that one in like 2 3 weeks when people found all the points of contention. found all the points of contention. found all the points of contention. >> Yeah. uh and it just doesn't quite fit >> Yeah. uh and it just doesn't quite fit >> Yeah. uh and it just doesn't quite fit how they would have perceived the next how they would have perceived the next how they would have perceived the next gen Mario Kart to have been uh for them gen Mario Kart to have been uh for them gen Mario Kart to have been uh for them anyway. And uh even with like a year anyway. And uh even with like a year anyway. And uh even with like a year later on, there's still people saying later on, there's still people saying later on, there's still people saying it's like we need DLC, we need more it's like we need DLC, we need more it's like we need DLC, we need more three course maps, all those things like three course maps, all those things like three course maps, all those things like people are still clamoring for a lot of people are still clamoring for a lot of people are still clamoring for a lot of changes in world or and they're hoping changes in world or and they're hoping changes in world or and they're hoping like a DC DLC could fix it and they're like a DC DLC could fix it and they're like a DC DLC could fix it and they're hoping that would be something that hoping that would be something that hoping that would be something that would be announced at a direct if we would be announced at a direct if we would be announced at a direct if we have one next week. Um, so that was like have one next week. Um, so that was like have one next week. Um, so that was like a good like little bit of magic. And a good like little bit of magic. And a good like little bit of magic. And then we had the initial game key cards.

then we had the initial game key cards. then we had the initial game key cards. So some people picked it up, some people So some people picked it up, some people So some people picked it up, some people didn't. Some people went back and we didn't.

And the fact that like they didn't see that in fact that like they didn't see that in fact that like they didn't see that in the first year and now there's been a the first year and now there's been a the first year and now there's been a silence on a giant major direct and silence on a giant major direct and silence on a giant major direct and they're like great, I'm seeing all these they're like great, I'm seeing all these they're like great, I'm seeing all these wonderful like third party games and wonderful like third party games and wonderful like third party games and we're more open to third party than ever we're more open to third party than ever we're more open to third party than ever before, but it's stuck with the before, but it's stuck with the before, but it's stuck with the contention of the game key card debacle. contention of the game key card debacle. contention of the game key card debacle. And then prices are going up for some And then prices are going up for some And then prices are going up for some what some people consider um to be what some people consider um to be what some people consider um to be prices going up anyway, even though we prices going up anyway, even though we prices going up anyway, even though we know there's all these reasons for it. know there's all these reasons for it. know there's all these reasons for it. Um it's just so laden with small um Um it's just so laden with small um Um it's just so laden with small um talking points and points of discourse. talking points and points of discourse. talking points and points of discourse. It was almost impossible for people to It was almost impossible for people to It was almost impossible for people to be pleased with the way Switch 2 is be pleased with the way Switch 2 is be pleased with the way Switch 2 is going to be perceived looking back going to be perceived looking back going to be perceived looking back throughout its first year. throughout its first year. throughout its first year. >> Yeah. What do you think, Justin? >> Yeah. What do you think, Justin? >> Yeah. What do you think, Justin? So, So, So, I don't know. I I might be in the I don't know. I I might be in the I don't know. I I might be in the minority here, but I feel like there are minority here, but I feel like there are minority here, but I feel like there are others that think like me.

others that think like me. others that think like me. And I would say in my opinion overall, And I would say in my opinion overall, And I would say in my opinion overall, I know you said that uh it would be I know you said that uh it would be I know you said that uh it would be pretty hard or impossible to ever match pretty hard or impossible to ever match pretty hard or impossible to ever match the Switch 1's year 1, but I overall the Switch 1's year 1, but I overall the Switch 1's year 1, but I overall think that the Switch 2's year 1 is think that the Switch 2's year 1 is think that the Switch 2's year 1 is much better than the Switch One's year much better than the Switch One's year much better than the Switch One's year 1. And so I think like you said the 1. And so I think like you said the 1. And so I think like you said the biggest sticking point is that Nintendo biggest sticking point is that Nintendo biggest sticking point is that Nintendo [music] [music] [music] missed out on having like that missed out on having like that missed out on having like that generational type of experience generational type of experience generational type of experience >> that if they would have had that >> that if they would have had that >> that if they would have had that generational game, I think it would have generational game, I think it would have generational game, I think it would have like silenced everything. like silenced everything. like silenced everything. >> Donkey Kong Bonanza is is close. >> Donkey Kong Bonanza is is close. >> Donkey Kong Bonanza is is close. >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> Yeah, >> but it's not quite generational.

I I thought in my head maybe it would be I I thought in my head maybe it would be I I thought in my head maybe it would be kind of like the DS and 3DS scenario kind of like the DS and 3DS scenario kind of like the DS and 3DS scenario where the 3DS would sold about half as where the 3DS would sold about half as where the 3DS would sold about half as much. Although I think Switch 2 will much. Although I think Switch 2 will much.

That it even hits like a 100 million. That it even hits like a 100 million. That would be tough, especially with the would be tough, especially with the would be tough, especially with the price increase and with how things are price increase and with how things are price increase and with how things are going right now. It'll be a little bit going right now. It'll be a little bit going right now. It'll be a little bit of a barrier of entry, but hitting a 100 of a barrier of entry, but hitting a 100 of a barrier of entry, but hitting a 100 million will be a very big success.

And I'm like, that's really funny because GameCube has like such a funny because GameCube has like such a funny because GameCube has like such a beloved library of software and the beloved library of software and the beloved library of software and the games are so good. Ah yeah GameCube games are so good. Ah yeah GameCube games are so good.

It's the opposite of the Steam Deck. It's almost the same as a Steam Deck, but in almost the same as a Steam Deck, but in almost the same as a Steam Deck, but in a different way. Because online, you a different way. Because online, you a different way. Because online, you would think the Steam Deck has like sold would think the Steam Deck has like sold would think the Steam Deck has like sold so much with how much people are hyping so much with how much people are hyping so much with how much people are hyping it up. And then I like realize that it it up. And then I like realize that it it up. And then I like realize that it hasn't sold that much. And I'm like, hasn't sold that much. And I'm like, hasn't sold that much. And I'm like, that is actually shocking that it that is actually shocking that it that is actually shocking that it [laughter] didn't sell that much. [laughter] didn't sell that much.

It kind of started during the N64, but It kind of started during the N64, but It kind of started during the N64, but really with the Gamecube where really with the Gamecube where really with the Gamecube where >> loads of people were saying they should >> loads of people were saying they should >> loads of people were saying they should just drop out the console race and make just drop out the console race and make just drop out the console race and make games instead. And that's why they games instead. And that's why they games instead. And that's why they pivoted and did the Wii, right? Trying pivoted and did the Wii, right? Trying pivoted and did the Wii, right? Trying to chase the blue ocean theory and that to chase the blue ocean theory and that to chase the blue ocean theory and that kind of stuff. But kind of stuff. But kind of stuff. But >> Wii was interesting because I remember >> Wii was interesting because I remember >> Wii was interesting because I remember um the first half of the Wii was very um the first half of the Wii was very um the first half of the Wii was very successful and like everyone loved it successful and like everyone loved it successful and like everyone loved it and then I I was a kid then so I wasn't and then I I was a kid then so I wasn't and then I I was a kid then so I wasn't paying much attention to anything and paying much attention to anything and paying much attention to anything and even at the end like Skyward Sword I was even at the end like Skyward Sword I was even at the end like Skyward Sword I was so hyped for it. I was so excited for so hyped for it. I was so excited for so hyped for it. I was so excited for everything Skyward Sword but supposedly everything Skyward Sword but supposedly everything Skyward Sword but supposedly during the tail end of the Wii um the during the tail end of the Wii um the during the tail end of the Wii um the interest just kind of dipped. people interest just kind of dipped. people interest just kind of dipped. people like like like it like it wasn't doing well and things it like it wasn't doing well and things it like it wasn't doing well and things like that and then it that kind of like that and then it that kind of like that and then it that kind of didn't help the transition into Wii U.

didn't help the transition into Wii U. didn't help the transition into Wii U. So So So >> understanding that now is very >> understanding that now is very >> understanding that now is very interesting because looking back at interesting because looking back at interesting because looking back at Switch One, Switch One 2024 was like, as Switch One, Switch One 2024 was like, as Switch One, Switch One 2024 was like, as I compared earlier, it was like a I compared earlier, it was like a I compared earlier, it was like a lighter year in the Switch One era, but lighter year in the Switch One era, but lighter year in the Switch One era, but it was still consistent moving into it was still consistent moving into it was still consistent moving into Switch 2. Switch 2. Switch 2. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And so >> Yeah. And so >> Yeah. And so >> difference is that like with the Switch >> difference is that like with the Switch >> difference is that like with the Switch they consistently had like once it hit they consistently had like once it hit they consistently had like once it hit that 100 million it they consistently that 100 million it they consistently that 100 million it they consistently had about a 100 million people that were had about a 100 million people that were had about a 100 million people that were always playing [music] always playing [music] always playing [music] >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> on their Switches. >> on their Switches. >> on their Switches. >> So they had consistent momentum going. >> So they had consistent momentum going. >> So they had consistent momentum going. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I feel like with the Wii was also a >> I feel like with the Wii was also a >> I feel like with the Wii was also a factor of novelty.

I mean, slowed down after a few years. I mean, slowed down after a few years. I mean, they had some gimmick games like we we they had some gimmick games like we we they had some gimmick games like we we um um um >> We fit.

They got the Wii and then after game. They got the Wii and then after game. They got the Wii and then after they played that, then they're like, they played that, then they're like, they played that, then they're like, "Yeah, we're done. We're done." "Yeah, we're done.

And then I could >> And then all of that. And then I could >> And then all of that. And then I could see why the novelty began to fade after see why the novelty began to fade after see why the novelty began to fade after some several years. And then we have a some several years. And then we have a some several years. And then we have a resurgence of that novelty. Um, and also resurgence of that novelty. Um, and also resurgence of that novelty. Um, and also just Nintendo seemingly knowing exactly just Nintendo seemingly knowing exactly just Nintendo seemingly knowing exactly where to hit the mark when it comes to where to hit the mark when it comes to where to hit the mark when it comes to that because after the Wii, we tried that because after the Wii, we tried that because after the Wii, we tried with Xbox Connect. We tried with other with Xbox Connect. We tried with other with Xbox Connect. We tried with other forms of motion and none of them felt or forms of motion and none of them felt or forms of motion and none of them felt or landed just as well as somehow the Wii landed just as well as somehow the Wii landed just as well as somehow the Wii did. Um, and then now we have a hybrid did. Um, and then now we have a hybrid did. Um, and then now we have a hybrid console that's perfect for at home play console that's perfect for at home play console that's perfect for at home play or take it on the road. It's my Switch or take it on the road. It's my Switch or take it on the road. It's my Switch One. I I as much as I love playing on my One. I I as much as I love playing on my One. I I as much as I love playing on my Switch 2 and I moved everything over Switch 2 and I moved everything over Switch 2 and I moved everything over there. If I'm going on a vacation, I can there. If I'm going on a vacation, I can there. If I'm going on a vacation, I can still take like my Switch One and it'll still take like my Switch One and it'll still take like my Switch One and it'll still work just as nearly as well for still work just as nearly as well for still work just as nearly as well for many of those Switch One era games. Um many of those Switch One era games. Um many of those Switch One era games. Um that and it's very compact. It has such that and it's very compact. It has such that and it's very compact. It has such an affordability price and at this point an affordability price and at this point an affordability price and at this point Nintendo itself is a significant outlier Nintendo itself is a significant outlier Nintendo itself is a significant outlier in the whole of the market if only just in the whole of the market if only just in the whole of the market if only just because it's the only place that truly because it's the only place that truly because it's the only place that truly retains hard exclusivity.

Um, yeah, I I >> I completely agree. Um, yeah, I I >> I completely agree. Um, yeah, I I definitely agree with that. I I was definitely agree with that. I I was definitely agree with that. I I was going to say something, but I lost my going to say something, but I lost my going to say something, but I lost my train of thought. Um, train of thought. Um, train of thought. Um, >> I was going to say it'd be funny like to >> I was going to say it'd be funny like to >> I was going to say it'd be funny like to see what, you know, like Nintendo is so see what, you know, like Nintendo is so see what, you know, like Nintendo is so used to just going from one crazy used to just going from one crazy used to just going from one crazy invention to the other. And the Switch 2 invention to the other. And the Switch 2 invention to the other. And the Switch 2 is like the first time in a long time is like the first time in a long time is like the first time in a long time where they've just kind of stuck with where they've just kind of stuck with where they've just kind of stuck with the same idea. And it would be the same idea. And it would be the same idea. And it would be interesting to see interesting to see interesting to see >> if the Switch 2 sells like you say, >> if the Switch 2 sells like you say, >> if the Switch 2 sells like you say, let's say, let's say 100 million. So, let's say, let's say 100 million. So, let's say, let's say 100 million. So, it's still really good, but it's 50 it's still really good, but it's 50 it's still really good, but it's 50 million, 60 million less than the Switch million, 60 million less than the Switch million, 60 million less than the Switch One. One. One. >> I wonder how that will affect what they >> I wonder how that will affect what they >> I wonder how that will affect what they do after the Switch 2. Whether they say, do after the Switch 2. Whether they say, do after the Switch 2. Whether they say, "Okay, we'll stick with this and just do "Okay, we'll stick with this and just do "Okay, we'll stick with this and just do a more powerful Switch 3 or whether a more powerful Switch 3 or whether a more powerful Switch 3 or whether they'll have that itch to like really they'll have that itch to like really they'll have that itch to like really >> Yeah. get more creative, >> Yeah. get more creative, >> Yeah. get more creative, >> reinvent things again." >> reinvent things again." >> reinvent things again." >> I will say this, um, >> I will say this, um, >> I will say this, um, >> can't drop the hybrid. Yeah, I don't >> can't drop the hybrid. Yeah, I don't >> can't drop the hybrid. Yeah, I don't think they can because now um I love how think they can because now um I love how think they can because now um I love how in the January 2017 presentation, this in the January 2017 presentation, this in the January 2017 presentation, this is what I was going to say. I remember is what I was going to say. I remember is what I was going to say. I remember now. In the January 2017 presentation, now. In the January 2017 presentation, now. In the January 2017 presentation, they were [music] like every console and they were [music] like every console and they were [music] like every console and system and handheld we did is leading up system and handheld we did is leading up system and handheld we did is leading up to Nintendo Switch. Every handheld we to Nintendo Switch. Every handheld we to Nintendo Switch. Every handheld we made, every console we made, we tried made, every console we made, we tried made, every console we made, we tried new things. Even the Gamecube with the new things. Even the Gamecube with the new things. Even the Gamecube with the handle, the Wii with the motion handle, the Wii with the motion handle, the Wii with the motion controls, the dual screen and the controls, the dual screen and the controls, the dual screen and the touchcreen with the DS, everything was touchcreen with the DS, everything was touchcreen with the DS, everything was leading. And then the Wii U Gamepad, leading. And then the Wii U Gamepad, leading. And then the Wii U Gamepad, everything was leading to Nintendo

everything was leading to Nintendo everything was leading to Nintendo Switch. So that's why when people were Switch. So that's why when people were Switch. So that's why when people were like, "Oh, Switch 2 needs to be so like, "Oh, Switch 2 needs to be so like, "Oh, Switch 2 needs to be so different and try something new." I'm different and try something new." I'm different and try something new." I'm like, "Don't don't do it." Like, "Don't like, "Don't don't do it." Like, "Don't like, "Don't don't do it." Like, "Don't shoot yourself in the foot." And like, shoot yourself in the foot." And like, shoot yourself in the foot." And like, yeah, but yeah, but yeah, but >> at the same time, um, Nintendo now is >> at the same time, um, Nintendo now is >> at the same time, um, Nintendo now is different from Nintendo back then. The different from Nintendo back then. The different from Nintendo back then. The Iada era on Nintendo is different from Iada era on Nintendo is different from Iada era on Nintendo is different from the Fura era on Nintendo. So, I'm the Fura era on Nintendo. So, I'm the Fura era on Nintendo. So, I'm curious to see how that will influence curious to see how that will influence curious to see how that will influence decisions moving forward and decisions decisions moving forward and decisions decisions moving forward and decisions for even the next generation, but that's for even the next generation, but that's for even the next generation, but that's like way way way into the future. But like way way way into the future. But like way way way into the future. But yeah, yeah, yeah, >> we're we're kind of seeing that, right? >> we're we're kind of seeing that, right? >> we're we're kind of seeing that, right? Cuz for Kawa, he's a finance guy. Cuz for Kawa, he's a finance guy. Cuz for Kawa, he's a finance guy. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, we literally we literally went from >> So, we literally we literally went from >> So, we literally we literally went from with IATA, we went from Steve Jobs to with IATA, we went from Steve Jobs to with IATA, we went from Steve Jobs to Tim Tim Tim >> Cook. >> Cook. >> Cook. You you that's a very good example. You you that's a very good example. You you that's a very good example. Yeah. Steve Jobs is the way more Yeah. Steve Jobs is the way more Yeah. Steve Jobs is the way more creative uh minded person whereas Tim creative uh minded person whereas Tim creative uh minded person whereas Tim Cook is the more like CEO minded. But Cook is the more like CEO minded. But Cook is the more like CEO minded. But >> it might be that we just have little >> it might be that we just have little >> it might be that we just have little iterations, you know, like with the iterations, you know, like with the iterations, you know, like with the Switch 2, we had the the the mouse Switch 2, we had the the the mouse Switch 2, we had the the the mouse control, control, control, >> right? They just like kind of just >> right? They just like kind of just >> right? They just like kind of just fine-tune the the the Switch and of fine-tune the the the Switch and of fine-tune the the the Switch and of course the the camera and we're seeing course the the camera and we're seeing course the the camera and we're seeing it how it's used Fox now in game. Yeah, it how it's used Fox now in game. Yeah, it how it's used Fox now in game. Yeah, exactly. All that kind of stuff. I think exactly. All that kind of stuff. I think exactly. All that kind of stuff. I think maybe maybe they'll keep the the main maybe maybe they'll keep the the main maybe maybe they'll keep the the main core of what the machine is, but tweak core of what the machine is, but tweak core of what the machine is, but tweak things, add things where they can to things, add things where they can to things, add things where they can to make it different from the competition, make it different from the competition, make it different from the competition, you know.

you know. you know. >> I think maybe that's what they'll do cuz >> I think maybe that's what they'll do cuz >> I think maybe that's what they'll do cuz I I do expect the Switch 2 to hit I do I I do expect the Switch 2 to hit I do I I do expect the Switch 2 to hit I do think it will hit a million 100 million. think it will hit a million 100 million. think it will hit a million 100 million. I was I was a bit worried before, but uh I was I was a bit worried before, but uh I was I was a bit worried before, but uh you know, you mentioned a good point is you know, you mentioned a good point is you know, you mentioned a good point is that even though the price is higher, that even though the price is higher, that even though the price is higher, everyone else's prices are going up. everyone else's prices are going up. everyone else's prices are going up. >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Right. So, it's in that distance, right? >> Right. So, it's in that distance, right? >> Right. So, it's in that distance, right? The PS5 has gone up in price. the Xbox, The PS5 has gone up in price. the Xbox, The PS5 has gone up in price. the Xbox, the PS6, who knows what that's going to the PS6, who knows what that's going to the PS6, who knows what that's going to cost. So despite the Switch 2 being more cost. So despite the Switch 2 being more cost. So despite the Switch 2 being more expensive than the Switch One, it's expensive than the Switch One, it's expensive than the Switch One, it's still going to be a distance away from still going to be a distance away from still going to be a distance away from the more powerful consoles. And so that the more powerful consoles. And so that the more powerful consoles. And so that that might help it in the long run that might help it in the long run that might help it in the long run actually keep selling. Where whereas actually keep selling. Where whereas actually keep selling. Where whereas before, if it had been more or less the before, if it had been more or less the before, if it had been more or less the same price as a PS5 and so on, it would same price as a PS5 and so on, it would same price as a PS5 and so on, it would have found it harder. But the fact that have found it harder. But the fact that have found it harder. But the fact that they've got a nice little distance they've got a nice little distance they've got a nice little distance cushion price-wise between them and the cushion price-wise between them and the cushion price-wise between them and the competition, I think will help it out in competition, I think will help it out in competition, I think will help it out in the future. Um it it's still the cheaper the future. Um it it's still the cheaper the future. Um it it's still the cheaper alternative. [laughter] alternative. [laughter] alternative. [laughter] >> Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. And and the >> Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. And and the >> Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. And and the thing the things it's it's so easy to thing the things it's it's so easy to thing the things it's it's so easy to forget now, but uh when I think back to forget now, but uh when I think back to forget now, but uh when I think back to it, like I remember even before the it, like I remember even before the it, like I remember even before the Switch 2 came out and when the first Switch 2 came out and when the first Switch 2 came out and when the first rumors came out of um CD uh what you rumors came out of um CD uh what you rumors came out of um CD uh what you call what do you call it?

I don't remember if change each part. I don't remember if change each part. I don't remember if he's mentioned this or not, but my idea he's mentioned this or not, but my idea he's mentioned this or not, but my idea has always been that the sages go inside has always been that the sages go inside has always been that the sages go inside the dungeon first, but they die in the the dungeon first, but they die in the the dungeon first, but they die in the dungeon. Like, uh, you don't see R dungeon. Like, uh, you don't see R dungeon. Like, uh, you don't see R because she's like either killed by because she's like either killed by because she's like either killed by Morpha or something else in the water Morpha or something else in the water Morpha or something else in the water temple. Same with Naburu. Naburu was temple. Same with Naburu. Naburu was temple. Same with Naburu. Naburu was like mind controlled and then like what like mind controlled and then like what like mind controlled and then like what happens after that? I don't know. Like happens after that? I don't know. Like happens after that? I don't know. Like what does Twin Roa do to Naburu or um what does Twin Roa do to Naburu or um what does Twin Roa do to Naburu or um same with like Sara, Darunia, all these same with like Sara, Darunia, all these same with like Sara, Darunia, all these people. Like my idea was Darunia uses people. Like my idea was Darunia uses people. Like my idea was Darunia uses the hammer to fight Vulgaia, but then he the hammer to fight Vulgaia, but then he the hammer to fight Vulgaia, but then he loses and then the hammer is just

loses and then the hammer is just loses and then the hammer is just somewhere else and you have to get it somewhere else and you have to get it somewhere else and you have to get it and then defeat Vulvega yourself. So and then defeat Vulvega yourself. So and then defeat Vulvega yourself. So making that actually play out in the making that actually play out in the making that actually play out in the dungeon would actually be really cool in dungeon would actually be really cool in dungeon would actually be really cool in a way. a way. a way.

So, they can maybe expand those a Field. So, they can maybe expand those a Field. So, they can maybe expand those a bit more and make it like a cave system bit more and make it like a cave system bit more and make it like a cave system like how they had in Gears of the like how they had in Gears of the like how they had in Gears of the Kingdom. But at the same time, um I'm Kingdom. But at the same time, um I'm Kingdom. But at the same time, um I'm also curious to see how Hyrole Field also curious to see how Hyrole Field also curious to see how Hyrole Field will be expanded. And there'll probably will be expanded. And there'll probably will be expanded. And there'll probably be a lot more to do there instead of be a lot more to do there instead of be a lot more to do there instead of just like walking around.
