Hello and welcome to episode 224 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're still doing our very fun look back at the first year of Nintendo Switch 2 and this week, we'll be examining the game line-up to see how it stacks up. We compare it to the first year of the Switch and also to the first year of the PS5. For fun, we also compare it to the first year of the Wii U! Also in this episode, we talk about how we think Nintendo did celebrating Mario's 40th Anniversary. We're playing some new games including Yoshi's Mysterious Book and want to tell you how we're liking it! We round it out with some very insightful questions from our community. All this and more is coming right up!

| 0:00.0 | Today, we are so close to the anniversary of the Nintendo Switch 2. |
| 0:15.0 | One year has almost come to an end. Wow. |
| 0:19.0 | So we're going to be doing a little compare and contrast. We're going to see how the Switch 2's game lineup |
| 0:24.6 | stacks up with the incredible launcher lineup of Switch 1. We're also going to be looking at some games that came out the first year of PS5, |
| 0:34.6 | of even the Wii U, and just doing a little compare and contrast. |
| 0:38.3 | How did the Switch 2 do against all of these other launch years? |
| 0:41.7 | Yeah, it's been about next week is one year. |
| 0:45.7 | Yeah. |
| 0:45.9 | So we're getting right up on it. |
| 0:48.0 | I know. |
| 0:48.6 | I can't believe it. |
| 0:49.8 | It is interesting because I think everybody says like, oh, 2017, it's impossible to beat. It will |

| 1:12.1 | that I was very surprised by. Oh, that's a lot better than I thought. Okay. Yeah. So looking back |
| 1:18.6 | and looking at both first party and third party games in that first launch year for some of these |
| 1:25.0 | consoles has been really interesting because you can see like some |
| 1:29.1 | years where the third parties were like not it they're like we don't believe in this thing |
| 1:32.9 | they weren't having it and the first parties had to like really carry the way and then there's like |
| 1:36.9 | vice versa too that happened um so it's just really interesting to look back and yeah what we'll come |
| 1:43.8 | away with some kind of i don know, like a score of some sort |
