It's time for episode 599 of the Clockwise Podcast from Relay, recorded Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025.

Clockwise, the tech podcast.

That's roughly 24 hours and 35 minutes shorter than the longest speech in U.S. Congress history.

I'm her co-host, Dan Moore, and I'm joined, as always,

across the internet by my good friend, my pal, my co-host, the one, the only. It's Micah Sargent.

How you doing today, Micah? I am doing well, Dan. My vocal cords are properly lubricated,

and yet I won't really need to worry about that because this show isn't long enough

for them to become strained. That's right. We get in and out here. We're really efficient

with our time. And as part of being efficient, we would like to interest you to our two guests

this week. To my left, it is clockwise host emeritus and proprietor of six colors. Jason Snell. Welcome

back, Jason. Dan, Micah, it's so great to be here on your 600th episode. Thank you so much for inviting me on this momentous

occasion. Wait, 599. Rounding error. Classic off by one error. Wow. To my left, senior reporter at NGadgett. Welcome back, Carissa Bell.

Hello, hello. I'm excited to be here for $5.99. It's where all the cool people are. Come on. It's the most budget-friendly clockwise episodes. It's just $5.99. All right, let me kick things off. Nintendo this

morning announced details about its upcoming Switch 2 console. I'm going to curious if you think

this will be as huge a phenomenal hit as the original switch. And what, if anything, you are

excited about? And maybe what, if anything anything you are puzzled about. Jason,

let's start with you. I do actually think this will be as popular. I think the switch is such a

huge hit now and has been out there for so long and is still successful that I think Nintendo has

basically created a parallel universe, which is their universe that they own,

and that no matter what Sony and Microsoft and anybody else want to do, Nintendo's just going to

motor along now. I think that this is going to be barring some weird hardware problem or something

like that. I think that they are just kind of off able to do their Nintendo thing and people really appreciate it.
