So, I first want to talk general gaming. So, I first want to talk about um why I chose to get the Nintendo about um why I chose to get the Nintendo about um why I chose to get the Nintendo Switch 2 at launch. Because you guys Switch 2 at launch. Because you guys Switch 2 at launch. Because you guys might remember I made a video back in uh might remember I made a video back in uh might remember I made a video back in uh oh literally the day of the Switch 2 oh literally the day of the Switch 2 oh literally the day of the Switch 2 Direct, April 2nd, I made a video about Direct, April 2nd, I made a video about Direct, April 2nd, I made a video about why I am hesitant to get the Nintendo why I am hesitant to get the Nintendo why I am hesitant to get the Nintendo Switch 2 at launch or why I'm worried Switch 2 at launch or why I'm worried Switch 2 at launch or why I'm worried about the future of the Nintendo Switch about the future of the Nintendo Switch about the future of the Nintendo Switch 2. And I this is sort of like a 2. And I this is sort of like a 2. And I this is sort of like a follow-up video to that. Even though follow-up video to that. Even though follow-up video to that. Even though like 2 months is not like really the like 2 months is not like really the like 2 months is not like really the future, nothing is set in stone. nothing future, nothing is set in stone. nothing future, nothing is set in stone. nothing is like declarative in terms of the is like declarative in terms of the is like declarative in terms of the legacy and the future of Switch 2 right legacy and the future of Switch 2 right legacy and the future of Switch 2 right now. But I want to tell you guys why I now. But I want to tell you guys why I now. But I want to tell you guys why I kind of like swapped my idea and my mind kind of like swapped my idea and my mind kind of like swapped my idea and my mind about a lot of um my purchasing about a lot of um my purchasing about a lot of um my purchasing decisions on the console itself cuz I decisions on the console itself cuz I decisions on the console itself cuz I was going to wait it out till Metroid

was going to wait it out till Metroid was going to wait it out till Metroid Prime 4. Who knows when the heck that Prime 4. Who knows when the heck that Prime 4. Who knows when the heck that game is coming out. I'll get to that in game is coming out. I'll get to that in game is coming out. I'll get to that in a bit. But I was going to wait till a bit. But I was going to wait till a bit. But I was going to wait till then. But I ended up getting it at then. But I ended up getting it at then. But I ended up getting it at launch. And the main reason why is a few launch. And the main reason why is a few launch. And the main reason why is a few days after the Switch to Direct, uh, days after the Switch to Direct, uh, days after the Switch to Direct, uh, when we were all still, uh, reeling from when we were all still, uh, reeling from when we were all still, uh, reeling from the sticker shock of of $450 for the the sticker shock of of $450 for the the sticker shock of of $450 for the base system, uh, $500 for the bundle, base system, uh, $500 for the bundle, base system, uh, $500 for the bundle, $80 for Mario Kart. We were still like $80 for Mario Kart. We were still like $80 for Mario Kart. We were still like kind of like getting over the fact that kind of like getting over the fact that kind of like getting over the fact that that was reality. We were still like that was reality. We were still like that was reality. We were still like like, "Holy my god, like that that's a like, "Holy my god, like that that's a like, "Holy my god, like that that's a lot of money. That's a whole lot for lot of money. That's a whole lot for lot of money. That's a whole lot for Nintendo." We were still taking it in. Nintendo." We were still taking it in. Nintendo." We were still taking it in. It was still a huge deal for us. A few It was still a huge deal for us. A few It was still a huge deal for us. A few days later, a lot of like things started days later, a lot of like things started days later, a lot of like things started to happen in terms of realworld to happen in terms of realworld to happen in terms of realworld economics and tariffs and all that. And economics and tariffs and all that. And economics and tariffs and all that. And Nintendo like pulled out the pre-order Nintendo like pulled out the pre-order Nintendo like pulled out the pre-order date and that scared so many me and my date and that scared so many me and my date and that scared so many me and my friends and I was pretty freaking friends and I was pretty freaking friends and I was pretty freaking scared. I was like 450 is already scared. I was like 450 is already scared. I was like 450 is already pushing it for me. 500 of the of the pushing it for me. 500 of the of the pushing it for me. 500 of the of the Mario Kart bundle, it's already kind of Mario Kart bundle, it's already kind of Mario Kart bundle, it's already kind of pushing it. I do not want to end up pushing it. I do not want to end up pushing it. I do not want to end up paying more for this system. And I I was paying more for this system. And I I was paying more for this system. And I I was like I was already a little like flumxed like I was already a little like flumxed like I was already a little like flumxed and just kind of all over the place with and just kind of all over the place with and just kind of all over the place with this. And I was like, "No, I I if I'm this. And I was like, "No, I I if I'm this. And I was like, "No, I I if I'm going to get it, I I guess I better get going to get it, I I guess I better get going to get it, I I guess I better get it now because the price is only going it now because the price is only going it now because the price is only going to go up." And that was my reason for to go up." And that was my reason for to go up." And that was my reason for getting it now. I got the bundle and I

getting it now. I got the bundle and I getting it now. I got the bundle and I feel like with the way things are going, feel like with the way things are going, feel like with the way things are going, I feel like the price is going to I feel like the price is going to I feel like the price is going to probably eventually go up and that is probably eventually go up and that is probably eventually go up and that is very sad. I mean, that that's not very sad. I mean, that that's not very sad. I mean, that that's not necessarily a gaming related thing. I necessarily a gaming related thing. I necessarily a gaming related thing. I mean, of course, like the cost of a lot mean, of course, like the cost of a lot mean, of course, like the cost of a lot of things are going up. Development of things are going up. Development of things are going up. Development costs of video games themselves are costs of video games themselves are costs of video games themselves are going up, but like even now we can see going up, but like even now we can see going up, but like even now we can see the price of Switch One is going up and the price of Switch One is going up and the price of Switch One is going up and that's kind of insane. So, I'm glad to that's kind of insane. So, I'm glad to that's kind of insane. So, I'm glad to at least have the system right now. So, at least have the system right now. So, at least have the system right now.

It things just feel a little weird and kind of just feel a little weird and kind of just feel a little weird and kind of discombobulated, but that's just my discombobulated, but that's just my discombobulated, but that's just my opinion. And I know Nintendo is a opinion. And I know Nintendo is a opinion. And I know Nintendo is a company you can't really predict. So company you can't really predict. So company you can't really predict. So like looking at patterns and all that, like looking at patterns and all that, like looking at patterns and all that, it's to me it's kind of nonsense because it's to me it's kind of nonsense because it's to me it's kind of nonsense because they can do whatever they want in the they can do whatever they want in the they can do whatever they want in the end. But that's just what I feel. Um I'm end. But that's just what I feel. Um I'm end. But that's just what I feel. Um I'm going to jump ahead a bit and talk about going to jump ahead a bit and talk about going to jump ahead a bit and talk about like 2017 versus 2025 just a little bit like 2017 versus 2025 just a little bit like 2017 versus 2025 just a little bit before I get into game key cards because before I get into game key cards because before I get into game key cards because I'm already realizing I'm rambling, but I'm already realizing I'm rambling, but I'm already realizing I'm rambling, but whatever.
