Join Logan Plant, Jada Griffin, Brian Altano, and Seth Macy as they talk about what the price increase means for Switch 2’s future, the new bundle that softens the blow for people ready to pick up the hardware now, and why Nintendo needs to introduce a Switch 2 Lite. Plus, more information from Nintendo’s quarterly financial report, including big numbers for Pokemon Pokopia and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, a very slow start for Mario Tennis Fever, and the final totals for Switch 2’s impressive first year on the market. Stick around for a ton of thoughts on Star Fox, including why we’re totally okay with it being another Star Fox 64 remake. Finally, we talk about what we’re playing, including Mixtape, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and the Best Buy kiosk demo for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.
