Welcome to the Vergecast, the flagship podcast of low-stakes game shows.

I'm your friend David Pierce, and I finally have perfected my Nintendo Switch setup.

So I mentioned on this show a while back that I needed a new game console, mostly because

there's a bunch of new games coming out that didn't support my PS4. I wanted something new. The team almost convinced me to buy a Steam deck,

but then they were like, oh, it doesn't play the only game that you care about, which is EAFC,

which used to be called FIFA. So that didn't work. So I did a bunch of research and a bunch of trying

stuff and eventually landed on just buying EAFC 25 and trying to run it on my unbelievably old and kind of busted

Nintendo Switch. It's not great. Game's a little laggy. Jumps a lot. Every time you want to, like,

move down a menu, it takes a full second to think about it, but it works.

I have the game.

Games downloaded.

It's all going fine.

So of course, as I'm want to do, I then got very obsessed with the setup.

I bought a new controller from this company called Power A, which looks cool, but I hate

it.

So I'm already in the market for another controller.

I bought an adapter so that I can connect the switch to my iPad and use it as a bigger screen when I'm on the road.

I bought a thing to connect it to my TV. I bought a thing to connect it to my computer monitor.

I've done way too much work to make this all work.

But now I've gotten to the point where basically anywhere I am at any time with zero setup,

I can play EASC 25 on my Nintendo Switch.

It's the dream.
