The podcast is back and on Switch 2 Launch Eve, no less! While none of the crew have a Switch 2 at the time of the recording, the guys take this episode to take a look back on the Nintendo Switch 1 - the Japan only preview event at Tokyo Big Sight, the days leading up to launch and the launch itself. After taking a trip down memory lane, it's time to take a look at what games and/or features have pushed the guys over the edge, in getting a Switch 2. Or in the case of Ty, what is going to make him want to get one. After diving into some Anime Trash, the guys close out the show.
