This week we'll be shifting our attention to something a bit more fun to talk about than tariffs! We're finally going to dig into the games currently announced for Switch 2. It's amazing how stacked the launch line-up is and it's a bit unfortunate that some of the excitement has been overshadowed by all the drama around the launch so far. We're going to be talking about the launch games and also comparing this to the Switch 1 launch line-up. Also in this episode, we'll be talking about some cool new games we're playing like Blue Prince and Capcom Fighting Collection 2! We also react to some news and confusion around the new Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition. We wrap it all up with some juicy questions from our Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming right up!

Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for exclusive content including predictions and reactions to the latest Switch 2 news *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hi!! We're just days away from the big Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct and we're SO excited to see more of this game. We were already pretty hyped for this game when we saw it in the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct but we're ready to learn even more. This game has very high price point at $80 so we do need to see what makes this game big. Nintendo's been out there saying just that, so we're hoping to see it for ourselves in this Direct. What do you think? Do you have a few things on your list that you need to see in this Direct to convince you to pick-up a Switch 2 and Mario Kart World? Let us know in the comments!

We want to dig into this complicated situation with tariffs and what Nintendo's options are for the Switch 2 launch now. Nintendo is for sure doing this exercise inside the company right now as they consider these options and ultimately make a decision on the best one for them. The one they choose will give show us what type of company they are and will play a role in deciding whether or not Switch 2 will have long-term success. What do you think?

Thank you so much to our Patreon community for supporting this channel. Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for exclusive content including predictions and reactions to the latest Switch 2 news *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello! We finally got some answers from Nintendo about pricing and some other mysteries about the Nintendo Switch 2 this morning through a number of interviews they did at the event last week. We break down everything Nintendo is saying but more importantly tell you if we actually believe them. We worked at Nintendo on the communications team for over a decade and our job used to be writing these answers for Nintendo spokespeople during interviews. We're definitely looking at this with a critical eye to determine if what they're saying is true or if they are trying distract us with marketing jargon. If you found any interesting nuggets from these interviews, leave it in the comments! 0:00 - Let's break down these interviews 8:01 - Nintendo's answers on pricing 17:38 - What Nintendo said about tariffs 22:03 - Mario Kart World pricing justification 27:04 - New product details (Welcome Tour pricing, Donkey Kong Bananza developer, Hall effect joy-cons and more!)

We wanted to talk about how Nintendo might be reacting as this is happening especially since their Treehouse Live comments were flooded with fans demanding Nintendo to drop the price.

We're officially a day away from the big Nintendo Switch 2 reveal Nintendo Direct! Before we finally see what this thing is and what it's all about, there's one more thought we wanted to share with all of you. Something we've been thinking a lot about is how entering the Switch 2 generation is going start a series of major changes for Nintendo. As we know, change is not inherently good or bad, but there is a lot that will be different at the company starting soon. There are a lot of factors that play into why this is and we break it all down in this video.
