Hello! Welcome to episode 166 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. 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!

Today we are going to be taking a closer look at the Switch 2 game lineup.

0:15.0

And asking ourselves the question, is this lineup actually better than the all-time great 2017 Switch 1 lineup, which was like blow our minds amazing? Tariffs, we're not talking about those today. No, yuck. Pre-orders, they'll happen when they happen. Who cares? Who cares? All this stuff. We're talking about the games today. Yes, the exciting part. It's a little overdue, frankly, because some of this stuff has just been a little

overshadowed, which is a bummer, because this lineup is looking super good. And I was kind of
