Switchin' It Up!

Here's my trip down memory lane! Back in the ol' Future Monkeys Time Machine! All the way back to 2017 when the Nintendo Switch was first announced. It's early days when it introduced Breath of the Wild to the world. All the way through the pandemic when the world was collectively trying to complete their museums and D.I.Y. cards with Animal Crossing. The Switch has been around for a long time! And it was hype inducing to talk about it.

But that's not to say it's been a smooth sailing. I also get into the cons and what I feel like the system is lacking. Actually, what it's been lacking for years.

All of this to lead up to talk about the Nintendo Switch 2! As of the posting of this show on April 1st, 2025, The Switch 2 is going to be officially announced tomorrow, April 2nd!

What will the future hold for us Nintendo gamers? We'll find out. But for now, enjoy this show.

Until next time!
