Things are changing super fast so we'll be sure to update you with more videos and our insights as things happen. Also in this episode, we react to the Donkey Kong Bananza leak and the news about Hades II as a console exclusive on Switch 2 at launch. We also watched the Minecraft movie and have deep thoughts about a chicken jockey. We wrap it all up with questions from our incredible Patreon community. All this and more is coming right up!

| 0:00.0 | Today, we want to look back at the five strange decisions that Nintendo made that got us to where we are now with the Switch 2 launch. |
| 0:17.0 | A lot has happened, but these are some pretty significant things that Nintendo did that were |
| 0:22.6 | really weird that kind of led to the unfortunate place we are in now. |
| 0:27.6 | Yes, we're right around a week away from the big reveal of the Switch 2. |
