THE TIME HAS COME! In mere hours, we will have the Nintendo Switch 2 (finally!). We just had to bring our friend Gene Park from the Washington Post back to tell us how he's feeling after doing all sorts of Nintendo things in the lead-up to this launch. Gene went to all of the preview events, interviewed Shigeru Miyamoto, played over 10 hours of Mario Kart World, interviewed Mario Kart World producer Kosuke Yabuki and did SO much more so he has the knowledge and we want to hear it and hopefully you do too. We can't believe the launch is almost here and it's been a joy to share in its highs and lows with all of you. The next time you see us, we be holding our Nintendo Switch 2s! We hope you're looking forward to a ton more Switch 2 because we have a lot planned. Happy almost launch day!
