Today, we are officially like a little less than a month away.

0:13.0

We're so close.

0:14.0

From the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, woo!

0:17.0

So we are going to be putting down some of our very bold predictions about this launch.

0:23.6

What are the headlines saying?

0:25.6

What are the meta-critics?

0:27.5

Will there be any surprises?

0:29.2

Who are the winners and losers?

0:30.8

We're going to do it right now.

0:32.0

Are you ready?

0:32.4

I just feel like Nintendo's done the big push of getting ready for the Switch 2.

0:36.6

There might be a little trickle of things here or there, but I think we have enough to work with to really put this launch under a microscope and talk about how we think it's going to go. Yes, I'm excited though. I'm too. I think this is the first time we've, like, predicted the outcomes of a launch. I'm doing this with my hands. What are you doing right now? What is this gesture? The launch dance. Magic? Magic. Magics. But yes, I'm excited. I feel like this is a good time for

1:00.8

us to do this video and lock in some of these things and see, well, like, kind of guess what we

1:05.4

think, how people are going to be reacting. You can't do it the week before. It's basically

1:09.5

cheating. It's too cheap. Too late.

1:35.6

I'm still holding out hope for my precious third-party dress. Well, I've got something to say about that too. So we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see. But it is true. We are getting very excited. I, every day I feel a little like a little antsy, a little tickle of excitement. It's very, it's really fun though. Are you having fun? I'm having a great time. Yes, I am. You seem like you're not as excited as I am.

1:40.2

What? Pop off, why not? Jeez. I'm on blast already. Come on now.

2:01.6

Stap it. In our in our excitement, we did do a fun video where we kind of looked at any last lingering questions we may have had about... Now I'm going to put you on blast. I said, I think we should do this video about these unanswered questions. What do you have? I don't know. Well, I needed to think about the questions that were. You were like, I think this is a great idea.

2:02.6

We should do it.

2:03.6

And I said, well, what, okay, what are your unanswered questions? You're like, I don't have any. Great. Well, the problem is, the problem is, the problem is. I'm pointing at you like this. I made the problem, apparently. The problem is that the information has been so scattered, that it's been a little bit hard for us to find whether or not these questions were unanswered at all.
