Well we expected to talk about the Switch 2 and how interesting it was and what we like about it, but it's hard not to get sidetracked by how much of a debacle the tariff situation could kick off for Nintendo's new console and the video game market as a whole. But we still manage to talk about the system, why it feels better than any Switch before it, Donkey Kong Bananza, Tears of the Kingdom Enhanced, Metroid Prime 4, and more, plus South of Midnight too.
