Welcome. Hello and welcome to NBC, I, Jans Nintendo podcast this week. We will be talking about how the Nintendo switch is four years old is that old in a console's life life span. You will find out.

During this episode, but also there are more rumors about a switch pro. And I know I said we would not talk about this anymore, but this time it actually seems pretty credible. So we're going to talk about it. I am your host, Casey to treat us and this week. I am joined by Brian Altano.

Hello, happy anniversary Nintendo switch. Happy anniversary, Seth Macy.

For new.

Your audio get cut off the whole first half of that.

I dipped out. Yeah, I wanted to say. How many?

And also Tom Marks. Hi. Hi, who did do the updated review of the Nintendo switch a little while ago? I guess how long was it go?

Was that two years now? Two, two, three years at this point. Yeah, it seems like only yesterday when probably two.

It was one of the years ago. Switch online officially. That's how I remember it.

Yeah, yeah, you're right. It is. It was back then. I mean, it seems like it was only yesterday with that the Nintendo switch was a toddler. Now it's a full grown child.

But if you're considering actual Nintendo console life spans, it is a it is I don't know, it's middle age. This is a middle age console now.

Does it feel old?

To you guys with considering that all of the new next gen consoles are out the PS5 and the Xbox Series X and S.

I mean, I'll kick things off by saying no, not at all to me. It's weird to think that it's been that were theoretically over halfway done like over halfway past its life cycle.

Right? That is a very odd thought to me. And even looking back at its launch when people were like, oh, well, it's a lot weaker than the PS4 and the Xbox One.

Right? Like, I don't really think that that problem has gotten any worse over the last four years, right? Like even with the launch of the PS5 and the Xbox Series X.

Like, yeah, those are much, much more graphically powerful consoles. But I still don't really feel like the Switch is like outclassed in any sort of way.

I don't know. It just feels like it's keeping up with those. Even though, yes, it absolutely has weaker graphics, right? Like it.

That's a fact. But like, I don't know, except for the occasional game here and there that has little frame hitches or is running a little slower.

Like, it doesn't really feels crazy noticeable given how old this tech was when it launched and how long it's been since launch.

It still feels just like an awesome system to me.

Mm-hmm.
