Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!

Later this week, the Nintendo Switch 2 will be celebrating 1 year since its launch! As a result, I wanted to talk all about how the year has gone so far for this follow-up device to one of the most successful consoles of all time. Right from it's first official unveiling in January 2025, to its in-depth preview in April 2025 and it's eventual, and much anticipated launch on June 5, 2025, I go over my own personal experience of pre-ordering and standing in line for the midnight release of the console, and all the hits and misses Nintendo has had with it in the year since then! The Nintendo Switch 2 is almost ready to show off to the world what is in store for the next year, so I thought it would be fun to look back and reflect on its wild first year. Tune in to hear some of my hot takes and what my favourite games have been so far.
