In this episode of Human Computer's podcast, we sit down to break down Nintendo's Switch 2 announcement. We dive into the new tech (no OLED—a disappointment to some), the $449 price tag, and why Nintendo can get away with charging $80-90 for games when others can't.

We geek out over the fancy new magnetic Joy-Cons with mouse functionality, built-in game chat that actually works (supposedly), and third-party support that finally brings games like Elden Ring to a Nintendo platform.

We wrap up with predictions on how Nintendo's hybrid console approach might force Sony and Microsoft to rethink their strategies, and what it means for game studios.
