Hello! We finally got some answers from Nintendo about pricing and some other mysteries about the Nintendo Switch 2 this morning through a number of interviews they did at the event last week. We break down everything Nintendo is saying but more importantly tell you if we actually believe them. We worked at Nintendo on the communications team for over a decade and our job used to be writing these answers for Nintendo spokespeople during interviews. We're definitely looking at this with a critical eye to determine if what they're saying is true or if they are trying distract us with marketing jargon. If you found any interesting nuggets from these interviews, leave it in the comments!

We finally got some answers from Nintendo this morning about pricing and some other details.

0:13.0

We wanted to go through all of these interviews with answers coming out and talk about a couple of things.

0:19.0

One, because we worked at Nintendo, used to write these answers for these types of interviews. We want to sort of, like, dissect them and see, are they really saying what they're trying to say? Are they trying to, like, pull some PR jargon in our faces? Yeah, it's the start of another week, another wave of switch to information.

0:38.8

When is it going to die down?

0:39.8

We don't know.

0:40.5

Never.

0:41.2

But yes, it is interesting for us in particular to look at interview responses because there were different people being interviewed.

0:47.7

And it's not just the case of like, well, talking off the cuff, here's what I think about this.

It's like, no, they basically have a script that's called a Q&A that is written by people like us

Yes.

Yes.

1:09.4

That's what that means.

So it's so interesting to see what exactly they say on some of these hard topics, where do they actually give you an answer and where are they just kind of like duck and it's like, let's move on please. And also what could be the possible answer that are hiding from? Yes. There's a lot to dissect here. Yes, yes, yes. So yeah, let's just kind of go through what happened.

1:28.3

So we were kind of wondering about this last week when there was so much conversation about price,

1:36.3

so much confusion about price, as we were noting in some of the videos we shared last week.

And we were wondering when Nintendo was going to come out to do anything official and clear

1:48.8

up any of these misconceptions or misinformation or just have some sort of official answer

1:53.9
