The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally arrived after an eight-year wait, and we're breaking down everything about Nintendo's newest console. Mike managed to secure a pre-order at a GameStop location that wasn't on most people's radar, giving us the chance to experience this highly anticipated system first-hand.
• First impressions reveal a noticeably larger screen compared to the original Switch, with the same slim profile
• The magnetic Joy-Con controllers slide on smoothly and feel sturdier than the original controllers
• Screen resolution is 1080p in handheld mode with 4K support when docked
• UI feels smoother and faster than the original Switch with improved accessibility options
• The Pro Controller has a comfortable feel similar to an Xbox controller but lighter
• Initial game experience with Mario Kart shows impressive track sizes with multiple pathways
• System has sold 3.5 million units in its first four days, exceeding PlayStation 5's launch numbers
• Upcoming games include Donkey Kong Bonanza, Metroid Prime 4, and third-party titles
• Some GameStop locations had issues with employees accidentally damaging consoles by stapling receipts to boxes
• Battery life held up well during testing with no overheating issues after several hours of play
We'll continue testing the Switch 2 and give more detailed impressions in our future podcasts as we try out more games and features.
Nintendo Switch 2 Has Arrived
Speaker 1Let's do this . Welcome everybody to another episode of the Game of Traffic Show . I'm your host , mike Sampson , children of my co-hosts Simply amazing what I'm doing today . Everybody get up for Mr Amazing . On today's Game of Traffic Show . We're going to tell you all finally , the switch has landed and , mr Amazing , we're one of the very few people who actually got a hold of the Nintendo Switch 2, . Mr Amazing , this is the main topic of the show . This is all the topics of the show with Nintendo today . Mr Amazing , let's do this . Let's begin the show . What do you think of the Nintendo Switch ? You had it in your hands . You played some of it . Well , not some of it , but you played we played it , we touched on it .
Speaker 2I mean the eight-year wait is over . Finally , the successor to the Switch is here , and no more speculations . We officially are in business man . So before we get to that game , Michael , you're the one that was able to get one . Oh , I went to go see . I drove by the store because I didn't have no reserves , so I was like I just wanted to know how the lines were and it was ridiculous . But Mike was actually able to go in the store and actually pick one up . So let's start with that before we get into the games .
Speaker 1I actually went in the store to go pick one up . This is how I went about it . The day the Nintendo Switch pre-orders happened , I went to GameStop not too far from my house . I asked him I was jokingly asking , I came to pick up Final Fury . Um . So I was like yo , yo , what's up ? Can I get a Taylor Swift ? You got more pre-orders . He said nah , man , we sold out a long time ago , so he's like nah . But my co-worker for another GameStop said she had a whole bunch of them . I was like nah , that ain't true man . Nah , believe me , bro , believe me . So he called her up . He had her on speaker . She was like yo , we got over 100 . That's good . Yeah , over 100 . Mario bundle switches that's a good .
Speaker 1And she had 150 regular .
Speaker 2Switch 2s , just the console itself , just the console by itself .
Speaker 1So it was like , oh snap , regular Switch 2s , just the console itself , just the console by itself . So it was like , oh snap . She was like . So I asked her how come nobody's getting them ? She said nobody want to come out on the hood .
Speaker 2We know the secrets . Now Go to the neighborhood least attractive . And plus that area has no parking . Oh yeah , that would do you too .
Speaker 1There's no parking . Anybody try to walk their new system in the streets . You're going to get in and run to the car . Yeah , I mean basically because you know you don't want to try to get a pre-order and you get a parking ticket , you got to hop in a New York City train at midnight .
Speaker 2Remember y'all , it's a midnight release .
Speaker 1I don't know what the hell this Macy's talking about because it's the neighborhood we're talking about .
Speaker 2I know we're not going to put the name out there , but we know it is .
Speaker 1We know it's not that bad of an area , but one of the main things is there's no parking lot . A lot of game stops are in malls or strip mall area . Where there is a parking lot , there is a place you , you know , set up shop and wait In this area . You really can't do that , so yeah , so I went there . So I went , there's nobody really there , got , yeah , so you just pick it up . So let's just say that I gave him my $55 . I put that money for $55 down , right yeah $55 .
Speaker 1$5 for a pole controller put down and I put $50 down and the Taylor Swift 2 .
Speaker 2So it's safe to say , if you decide to go online at 10 o'clock or 9 o'clock , you wasn't getting one .
Speaker 1What 10 o'clock when ?
Speaker 2For the midnight release . You weren't going to get one . It's safe to say that .
Speaker 1You had to be there early .
Speaker 2You had to be there very early .
Speaker 1I think you had to at least the first 100 people .
Speaker 2I went by my local Best Buy and there was about 150 people online and that was like around 11 , 45 that Wednesday going into Thursday . Right , that came out Thursday , yeah . So I was like , ooh , this is going to be crazy , so I can just imagine how it is around .
Speaker 1I dig it .
Speaker 2You have to be at least the first 200 people , I agree with that and depending on what store you was at , maybe biggest franchise . In the area yeahises had more copies . But consoles we're lucky to have one , but go ahead , mike man , let me continue . We have to give people a little vision of how you went through to get that .
Speaker 1No , mr Mays , I just skibassed way . I got it . You got to do what you got to do , man , we got it . But Mr Mays thought he know I got the pre-order . Yeah , he lied . So I was like yo , I'm going to pick up the pre-order tonight . You know I'm going to pick up tonight , on the day of the release , and he was like yo , yo , you are .
Speaker 2So that's why he went by driving to Best Buy to see if he was out there , just to see what this idiot was going to do . I was like this guy's going to come . He's at the house at 11 o'clock . I'm like you still not good . I was like you're going to drive best man , I'll give you a heads up , but he had me fooled .
Speaker 1He said that , yes , I did have you fooled , but no big deal , mr Maisy , we got it , so it's all good . Yes , ms Smith , it is all good In the hood as the lady was saying In to get these Nintendo Switches pre-orders .
Speaker 2We all know the secret now . Now we're going to see more people out there doing the same thing we did .
Speaker 1So all right , Mr Mason , what's your first impression so far of the Nintendo Switch ?
Speaker 2Oh , the first thing I remember you did the unboxing and the first thing I noticed , the very first thing I noticed , was the size .
Speaker 1Yeah , it was a bigger screen , definitely a bigger screen , definitely a bigger screen than the Nintendo Switch . Nintendo Switch OG I bought . I brought upstairs the Nintendo OG and the Nintendo Switch 2 .
Speaker 2We both compared it yeah , and it was noticeably much larger . The width was . You know , it's the width to me that the width was larger , but it still kept the same slim size though , which I love about that , that they did do that , that they did do that , and then , outside of that , the next thing I was amazed by was the magnetic Joy-Con controllers yeah , the Joy-Con controllers is how it was , like seamlessly , it hooked on yeah cause I had .
Speaker 2I was skeptical , but I was like these things are probably gonna break fast . They're probably going to be flimsy , no , no . It surprised me
How Mike Secured His Console
Speaker 2how sturdy they were , how easily they slide right on , and then the buttons to release it . It's perfect . It's not so small as the prior Switch , as the regular Switch , but this was a little smooth . I like the way it felt .
Speaker 1Personally , I did try to disconnect it , while the Switch I mean sorry , the Joy-Cons while in dock it's kind of hard to try and pull it off You're talking about while it's stationed in the dock .
Speaker 2Yeah , stationed in the dock .
Speaker 1I find it difficult to pull it off if you just try to take out the Joy-Cons while the PlayStation I mean sorry on the Nintendo Switch 2 is docked . That's why I find it kind of difficult to take it out .
Speaker 2Okay , okay , Okay . So I mean , the next thing I would say is how big . I feel like the buttons are bigger than Joy-Cons too . That's also something that was notable . They're not extremely large , but they're a little bit larger than the prior Switch . So that was something noticeable , and the reason I noticed that , to be honest with you , is because when we first got the Switch , we played Mario Kart on that as well , and we all struggled to play it on that on the original Switch . So that's why I don't know so much how big , how larger it was .
Speaker 1I mean to be honest , I just think it's a little bigger . I think people with adult hands are still going to have problems playing games for a long time If you're just playing with that small little Joy-Con . I think after a while your hands will cramp up . Yeah , I know , I do .
Speaker 2I don't think you're playing Call of Duty for a couple hours with those Joy-Cons . Yeah , I would recommend that , be honest with you . But I mean you know that's . You know the nicks and nacks about it .
Speaker 1Yeah , because I mean , let's go back to the screen . Yeah , the screen is what Mr 1080 screen . I know you're disappointed . It wasn't 4K , 4k OLED you know that's gonna happen .
Speaker 2I thought it should . It's 4K when it's docketed . I thought they could at least did 4K even if it's not docketed . To be honest with you , they could do that in there yeah , but you want an OLED screen too yeah , of course .
Speaker 2I mean I think you could do the OLED version and the regular , a regular 4K version or 1080 whatever , and have two price points , like most systems do now . Anyway , I thought that would have been a good way to start off , but they didn't . I guess that's why they kept the price low . Nintendo tried to appease their mass and keep the price low as much as they can , because they did start off with a higher price point compared to their Prime systems .
Speaker 1But it does support 120 FPS , supports HDR10 , and it gives them more details smoother . 120 FPS supports HDR10 , and it gives you more details , smoother gameplay and the images brighter brights , darker blacks . So I did see that in why I played in Handel for a while today . I did notice that in the Mario Kart Mario World sorry , mario World's game .
Speaker 2No , that's good though I mean when we well let's good though I mean when we Well , let's get into a little bit of the technologies of it . So one thing I did notice is that it was smooth for you to transfer your Switch 1 content to the Switch 2 content . It was just literally just pretty much a plug-in and let's just transfer . It took up for a few minutes .
Speaker 1I would say no it did take a few minutes Remember .
Speaker 2That was because of your connection . Connection took a long time .
Speaker 1Your connection . It took a long time , so it wasn't like snap , crackle drop .
Speaker 2No , but that was downloading the game , the Mario game , but I think when you were transferring it it was actually pretty smooth actually .
Speaker 1The transfer was smooth . The transfer was smooth . It was down on the game . That took a long time . Transfer was smooth . Down on the game took forever . And that's basically due to the connection .
Speaker 2Yeah , so we had no problem with that as well .
Speaker 1So also , I played the Switch on handheld mode . We'll say over the old two hours the battery was up to 80% of usage . So that was pretty good . But handheld mode it felt comfortable . Though the screen is always a lot bigger switch , it felt comfortable . My hands didn't cramp or anything like that . I'm not a handheld person . The Switch will always play dock . So I'm not a person who's going to be walking around with my Switch and taking it everywhere with me and playing all over the house . Most of the time I'll probably be playing it on the TV .
Speaker 2Yeah , which is true , and I also remember one of the first concerts I made was when I had a homo . When I tried it I was like , well , this feels very comfortable and it reminds me of a Steam Deck the size , to be honest with you and I love the way the Steam Deck feels .
Speaker 2For me to say that , you know , to me it's a compliment to the Switch 2 . So you know , I got to say and it was comfortable , I had perfect grip even though it's a larger size . All around it was perfect for me . I had no issues with the size and holding it in handheld mode .
Speaker 1Yeah , and the UI screen , everything going to settings . No problem , it's very smooth yeah , exactly a little faster than the Switch yeah , which is true .
Speaker 2So now , how about we jump ? Do you want to jump into the game yet or not yet , but also with the Joy Cards .
Speaker 1You could actually remap it , yeah , yeah , yeah , you could remap it . Yeah , but I don't think the first one you could do that .
Speaker 2No , I don't think the first one . You cannot do that .
Speaker 1I don't remember doing that the first one , you cannot do that , but this one you can do that .
Speaker 2Oh , okay .
Speaker 1And you also , mr Amazing , you can also . It also has accessibility accessible , which is like for people who Accessibility and whatnot yes , larger text , bolder , more contrast mode , so it'll be easier if you want to read stuff like that . So you wanted to read stuff like that , so you have to read it . You can't hear you read the text , stuff like that , so it's great .
Speaker 2Good . So Nintendo is making sure that they keep all audiences shot to play , which is a beautiful thing . We love stuff like that .
Speaker 1Which is cool , which is cool . What else do you want to say , mr Amazing ? I won't jump into the that yet , but while I was playing the Switch I had it on for three hours . There was no problem overheating .
Speaker 2Okay .
Speaker 1So the new cooling system is working fine .
Speaker 2Okay .
Speaker 1The dock is a lot bigger . Well , we'll say a lot thicker .
Speaker 2It's dirtier to me and I like the blackness fields , because I feel like the white one got dirty fast . Well , mine did to be honest with you . I feel like it got dirty fast . Well , mine did to be honest with you , I think it got dirty fast . It looks more modern . The docket station .
Speaker 1I think it looks more modern . I think it looks more modern . I give you a say it doesn't look flimsy yeah it doesn't look flimsy , it looks like a little box .
Speaker 2This one has a little bit more arch to it , you know like a sly-looking fast car . You know that kind of look . Baby got back . Yeah , pretty much it looks more stylish to me .
Speaker 1Yeah , so yeah , I mean , I mean , like I said , one thing I want to say I do agree with you the Teno Switch should have given a slightly different look than the OG Switch so you really distinguish it from the OG Switch , Because the only thing that distinguishes it really the OG . Switch . Okay , because the only thing that distinguishes it really is the box , the boxing of it .
Speaker 2Okay , okay , okay , okay . But tell them what with the mod-up ? If it ain't broken , they're not fixing it , but remember you was complaining about that . I was . No , I didn't . I did want it to come with a different design .
Speaker 1You was stern argument .
Speaker 2No , I didn't . I did want a different design to differentiate between the two systems because they did look , but when I saw it in person , I saw the size . So the biggest . The first thing I noticed to start the show , it's the first thing I said too the size . I was like whoa , this thing is way bigger .
Speaker 1So that was the first that differentiated from me , but at the end into the games Pro Controller . What do you think of that ?
Speaker 2Oh yeah , the Pro Controller felt really good . Yeah , the Pro Controller too . Yes , it feels it leads more towards the Xbox controller , to me personally .
Speaker 1Every time you get a controller like that , similar mapping , everybody says that it's the Xbox . Yeah , it feels like the Xbox , but it's lighter .
Speaker 2I feel like it's lighter . Yeah , I noticed when we were playing you I don't know you were using the Pro Controller more than I was . Yes , I was . You kept hitting the back button a lot , I noticed . So I don't think it's just a problem of getting used to the controller . I didn't you hit a couple of times because remember you the game messing the gink ? Because when we were playing our you know , the Mario Kart , mario World , you hit the button a couple of times actually .
Speaker 1So I don't know if it's like . I don't remember pausing it , you did .
Speaker 2You hit it a couple of times . So I don't know . You're not used to the controller , or is it you know ?
Speaker 1It's the first time in a while , but it happens .
Speaker 2I've done that several times it's probably just a matter of getting used to the controller it is sometimes the way my hand is but overall I think the controller is good . I think it's going to be a perfect controller for fighting games , for racing games , for first shooter games , first person shooter games . The pro controller is perfect . I loved it on the prior versions and they perfected it on this one . Personally , I didn't buy the prior versions and they perfected it on this one me personally .
Speaker 2I didn't buy the camera because I'm not going to use the camera . We're not going to use that . Let's keep it real , we're not going to use it and we , honestly , we didn't use the game chat feature yet .
Speaker 1Yeah , we're not going to change that feature , so unless Mr Maisy gets one , or I know somebody also has a Switch , but Switch 2 , no one has Switch 2 .
Speaker 2Yeah , I don't know anyone with the Switch 2 yet outside of us .
Speaker 1Yeah , it was a funny story . While I was walking to my car with the Switch 2 , somebody said excuse me , excuse me ,
First Impressions of the Hardware
Speaker 1it was a bus driver . Yeah , he's like yo . Yo , you got the Switch . Yeah , yeah , I got it . I said , oh so you pre-ordered it ? Yeah , I got it . You owe you pre .
Speaker 1I said oh , so you pre-ordered ? Yeah , I pre-ordered , damn . So it was really demand , because while I was waiting in line , people were like yo , you waiting for the Switch ? It wasn't that big of a line when I went down went down around 1130 to pick it up , so I saved 10 people in front of me Mike man you got to bring like a grocery store bag and put the switch to inside a grocery store bag . So if you don't know what , you carry man Yo .
Speaker 2Mike is scared . I'm like oh All , right , we started the show . Let everyone know where to go get one . It ain't the best place to get one .
Speaker 1No , no , no . But Mr Basie , we both know him . But it's not that bad , it's not that to happen , yeah for those who don't know , they're going to be afraid .
Speaker 2If he was in Brownsville , Brooklyn , yes , there might have been a problem Everybody .
Speaker 1I went to Brownsville , brooklyn , when I was coming from work . I was walking through there I was like yo , why this place called a seven ? There's a reason why buddy I was like yo , why this place called a seven Yo , yo man , you in Brownsville I didn't know where I was at at the time you in Brownsville , son . I was like oh okay , okay , okay , I get it . Now I understand . Say no more , say no more . So . But anyway , Mr Bazer , let's talk about the games . Two games we played during the Switch launch .
Speaker 2Yes .
Speaker 1You know what ?
Speaker 2We'll go to Mario Kart .
Speaker 1Yeah , obviously because that's a Switch 2 game . It came with the system .
Speaker 2It came with the system . Yeah , so he had the preloaded one .
Speaker 1We have to just preload that , oh yeah , but be careful , Because I thought it was like the Sony , where it was preloaded in there like Astro Bot .
Speaker 2Oh , okay , okay , okay , okay , Never lose that card yeah so Please be careful with that one .
Speaker 1And they want to lose and throw it out by mistake . So , yeah , so , like I said , I thought it was already downloaded in the system . But with your Nintendo Switch Mario Kart bundle , you have the card with it and you go to the Nintendo Store , put the code in , boom and it downloaded no problem . Yeah , yeah , it did .
Speaker 2Downloaded Smooth , yep , yep . So , like Mike said , we started off with Mario World From the onset . It has what We'll say about 15 playable characters , or more than that .
Speaker 1Give or take yeah , we earned some more . We earned some as we went through the circuits .
Speaker 2Yeah , I think we did like the first three circuits . We did , yeah , so we earned some characters . Your favorites are all there , mario Luigi . You know , the favorites are all there . Baby Mario , baby Luigi . Oh , wild Luigi , they're all there .
Speaker 1I mean they could have been more , the cars could have been more , but remember , you get those as you go through the circuits . I would have more better cars .
Speaker 2As you go through them , you get more , so we were playing Off the bat . What caught my eye was , like all the reviews said , was how large these stages are . Now , they were not lying about that , because there are multiple ways to go through a stage . Maybe be like one in a little hidden thing , uh-uh , there's like three ways now in a lot of these stages .
Speaker 1Yeah , but some of the stages we were looking for ways we couldn't find anything . Yeah when we got to like the third circuit . We thought it was a section you couldn't go .
Speaker 2You couldn't go . Yeah , I know what you're talking about . That's when we got to the third circuit , though , but I think prior to the third circuit , when we got there , they were they were different methods .
Speaker 1In some ways we thought there was a way to go in there . Oh , the shortcut . Oh , we can't go in there , yeah which is true too . We did find those spots too as well .
Speaker 2Which is true , which is true . The gameplay I love it . Simple , obviously , you get that whole button down . It's more Mario , it's a typical Mario game .
Speaker 1It's still Mario Kart . It's still Mario Kart .
Speaker 2You have the same what we would have called weapons or accessories , man's weapons . Damn it To get through a stage . They add new ones . You have the same common compliant games .
Speaker 1Always had the hammer , the .
Speaker 2Hammer one . I think the Hammer one is new . I can't remember . I can't remember either , because you know this thing has been for so long . I can't remember as well .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2So you know they have some new features as well too . It was fun , easy to play . We went through the circuit . I noticed I personally felt the computers got harder as the circuit started going . I noticed I was going lower and lower in rank . Oh no , paul Neal's getting those problems .
Speaker 1Yeah , what would that be Paul Neal's like ? What when the character ? What the hell is this girl bothering ?
Speaker 2us for yeah , oh , one of the big features , too , is the amount of people that was playing at once . It was more than eight people , yeah , 24 .
Speaker 1That was a lot of people racing that game , so you in knockout mode where we need to check that out . That's coming . We'll update it when our next podcast will update you regarding that , absolutely , definitely will do that .
Speaker 2For those who know me , my favorite character is Luigi , so you know I had him pretty much on the showcase . I thought it was Princess Peach .
Speaker 1I thought you wanted to promote the game .
Speaker 2I promoted it . Hey , I'm probably going to get hit . The cat comes to get hit .
Speaker 1Hey , he said the game was going to outsell this other game , but he didn't support it . He didn't support it , right ?
Speaker 2I didn't support it , I can't lie .
Speaker 1Then he didn't buy the game Yo yo . That don't mean I won't , though . This is the man who bought the Barbie game when he was younger .
Speaker 2So yeah , yo .
Speaker 1Hey , did you try to give me the Burger King game ?
Speaker 2I did give you the Burger King game . I didn't put Xbox , I'm not sure it's worth any money .
Speaker 1Probably not , but go on , mr Amazing .
Speaker 2So you know we got it today . We had a good time , we played it . First of all , circuits .
Speaker 1No one want to play with us . We asked the fan members to play with us .
Speaker 2Yeah , they didn't want to jump in . They're probably nervous .
Speaker 1I don't know it was late .
Speaker 2Like you said , it was late , though it was late , it was late , so yeah . We'll have more time .
Speaker 1Yeah , the game was good . The game was good , more Mario Kart . If you like Mario Kart , it's more Mario Kart .
Speaker 2Yeah , exactly , If you like Mario Kart you're going to Contra game , yeah that was good .
Speaker 1That was good , but I think the PlayStation 5 version is a lot better . I played the demo . I think the characters are a lot larger .
Speaker 2Man , come on , man , You're playing PlayStation 5 ? Playstation 2 . A lot larger . You can't sit here and compare a PlayStation 5 character to another Switch character .
Speaker 1A little more A big difference there , buddy A little more definition . You know , the pipe thorns look a little bigger , but it was good . There was no frame drops . No , not at all .
Speaker 2Not at all . It was very easy to use too , actually .
Speaker 1Yeah , so we have fun . We got to go back and play it . It was good . I want to try the fighting games on it . Okay , as Skullgirls on it , girls on , see how it plays on that street fighter 6 also , I think that's .
Speaker 2That's outside .
Speaker 1Oh yeah , you gonna buy street fighter 6 for it , I have it , I'm gonna pay us five .
Speaker 2No , I got , I got school girls okay , we could try that in another fighting game .
Speaker 1Post again , post again to amazon . So we'll try to see how they go . We'll . We'll tell you our progress with the uh , with the switch . Um , do the podcast . We'll tell you our progress on it . It won't be the next podcast , but the following podcast will give you more update on .
Speaker 2You'll probably get a larger scale review from me when , I think , when Donkey Kong comes out , because that's a game , I'm really looking forward to the new Donkey Kong , because I love the Donkey Kong games , to be honest with you . So when that comes out and that game looks really good , we have mastered it by then . Maybe we've used the chat feature , who knows ?
Speaker 1but is this like , like I said , we need more time , we need more , we need more time in the oven , yeah , to really give our more of our better view of the Nintendo Switch and you know , and let it go to a regular roll of a game system for just playing for a couple hours , a couple of days really can't give the test to a test of time . Woody , give a big observation of it exactly , I agree with that you know cause ?
Speaker 1a country game it played , no problem . No problem , it's not like we'll say cyberpunk , yeah , it's more taxing game exactly than the country game , which is a side scroll game shooter . So we'll try to fight a game with the imports and stuff like that . See how that plays . And we'll try another co-op game on this . See how it goes .
Speaker 2And like I said when Donkey Kong , I think it's going to be a good game on that too . Actually , yeah , I'd be interested too .
Speaker 1What's the name of the Donkey Kong game again , the new one that's coming out ? I ?
Speaker 2think August is coming out .
Speaker 1No , no , next month's called July , what's ?
Speaker 2July . What's the name ? Oh God , I got shit I'll make it called Don't Come Freeze , but it's not . Don't Come Freeze . No , no , no , no , no that game . It is the Nintendo Switch . Guys , you guys got to pardon me because I don't know enough in my head .
Speaker 1I forgot about the top of my head .
Speaker 2Okay , it's amazing . I'm just and that game is going to be called yeah , it would be nice if it popped up , but it didn't . Donkey Kong Country 2 .
Speaker 1I played Metro Prime when there was no you know , I said no frame rate drop . It did look more colorful on it . So yeah , so far the experience has been good on the Nintendo Switch 2 . But Mr Mazer doesn't know .
Speaker 2Donkey Kong Bonanza .
Speaker 1Okay .
Speaker 2Yeah , coming out July 17th .
Speaker 1That's way off though . Yeah , that's way off , but the thing I have with the Nintendo Switch on that concern , where's the outlook for the next six months for the Nintendo Switch ?
Speaker 2Well , they have a relevant .
Speaker 1What's your opinion , Mr Mazin ? Oh , I think it's going to be .
Speaker 2I think , mr Mazin , oh , I think it's going to be , I think .
Speaker 1Okay , let's start with the basics , For now it's January .
Speaker 2The basic is I don't think it's going to be as hard to find when it goes for the prior consoles that came out with the Xbox and the PS5 . I think more people will be accessible to it , so that's a good thing . I really think that's going to be it . I think it's a growing community again . What I mean by that is that you're going to have new wave of people joining it Like the older wave and stuff like that .
Speaker 1You think it's a new wave ? Yeah , because , remember , nintendo brings in all ages , but I don't think there's a new wave of people coming in .
Speaker 2Well , I think you are , because Nintendo's the only system I see that can 80 year olds 70 year olds ?
Speaker 1yeah , why would ? Why would you bring them in ?
Speaker 2because they they've already immersed in the prior ones , so I think you're gonna continue .
Speaker 1I knew what you said . You said new wave . You said new wave . I didn't say that . I should say all ages but my thing is like I know we mentioned the mode we didn't try on the Joy-Con was the mouse mode oh yeah , but we don't really have a game . We probably could adapt one of the games to it .
Speaker 2Okay .
Speaker 1But no , my impression of the mouse is wasted . The idea in time .
Speaker 2I don't know . I can't say that Unless you're getting games like Warcraft . There's a game .
Experiencing Mario Kart on Switch 2
Speaker 2I don't know the name of it . We did a review on that a couple of months ago A couple of shows ago .
Speaker 1We talked about it a couple of weeks ago the wheelchair game .
Speaker 2No , not the wheelchair . There was that too , but it was another game . It looked like I forgot the name of the game .
Speaker 1It was a new Metro game . They was using it .
Speaker 2Yeah , but you gotta remember a lot of , remember a lot . Think about game , because a lot of people who play PC find the mouse feature very accessible for certain games .
Speaker 1It's good for games if you get Boulder's Gate to come to it .
Speaker 2Okay , that's fine , and that's probably why .
Speaker 1Warcraft games like that . It's amazing , I think , the feature that's being used or utilized by a large number of people .
Speaker 2To be honest , Remember you and I might not use it , but there's a lot of . It's a big niche for other people though , remember , even for the shooters . They love that mouse feature for shooter games too . Remember me and you don't use it , but remember it's a big niche for some people . Man , a lot of people got hyped over that . I was like okay , cool , I can see where it worked out .
Speaker 1Mr Mason , no , there's a lot of people .
Speaker 2It's a big niche for other people , man .
Speaker 1Mr Mason , no , I disagree with you .
Speaker 2I think it's a big niche for a lot of people .
Speaker 1Mr Mason no , we'll find out . No and no , we'll find out , and no and no , but continue next month .
Speaker 2It's all about the games . Be honest with you . What games are coming out ?
Speaker 1What do I always say ? It's all about the games .
Speaker 2Kid , it's about the games . We just got to figure out what games are coming out . I mean we've mentioned them in the past . I mean we did just confirm the Donkey Kong you have . What other games do you have ? You have the upgrades from the Zelda . They didn't pay the Zeldas . You could play it on here now with updated graphics .
Speaker 1You got to pay extra money for the upgrades .
Speaker 2I thought it was free if you had it . Am I confused ?
Speaker 1I have to check again , but I think you have to pay for it .
Speaker 2You might be right .
Speaker 1Axel , you might be right . I just no , I just my thing is about the game . I think the Donkey Kong game , donkey Kong game , the Metro Prime , the Metro game , the Metroid game sorry , that's coming out . I believe this . I think it's a rumor that Splatoon 3 is coming out . Oh yeah , so in the near future , within the next six months .
Speaker 2Okay .
Speaker 1So that's another hit game for them . The Makers Form Software is coming out again . It's coming out , I believe , in January , so we'll say a Bloodborne Soul Light game with multiplayer , supposed to be on there . So I believe it's multiplayer . Correct me if I'm wrong . So that was , I believe , early January of next year .
Speaker 2Okay , okay , okay . So do you think we're going to see more triple A , triple A games on there now from third parties ? They got they got .
Speaker 1They got , manipus come out . Oh that's going to be good 2K . Oh , so here we go .
Speaker 2Yeah , those are going to be good , you don't even say anything . I think . I actually think it is because you , you and I was just complimenting the pro controller , so why would it not be ?
Speaker 1good with the Pro Controller .
Speaker 2It's a pro controller , yeah , but you have Asha to be a pro controller too .
Speaker 1Do you think the experience will be optimized as a PS5 or Xbox ?
Speaker 2It depends . If you don't care about visual , if you're not a big visual person , you don't care about experience .
Speaker 1It's Madden 2K .
Speaker 2You don't care about visuals yeah , but it's not a 4Drop Remember .
Speaker 1Yeah , but it's not a 4Drop Remember when it's docked , it's 4K , it's 4K , but also Remember , you're talking to a guy who's playing his games in 1080 right now . So I think it'll be fine , don't ? We're not going to go to that story where I was basically playing games in 1080 TV and he still hasn't even played the TV . Hey , cheap motherfucker .
Speaker 2Switch was fine , man Plus , remember you also have the GameCube Classics that dropped that same day . I believe , too , that's also going to expand the gameplay on the Switch , so stuff like that is going to help out . A lot of games dropped out opening night too , and I say a lot of games like Split Fiction also dropped , cyberpunk also dropped that same night , final Fantasy VII there's a lot of games that dropped , so it's not like Hogwarts Legacy dropped that same day .
Speaker 1also , my thing is that you talk about new people coming in there . Most of the people probably have an Xbox or let me start giggling myself Xbox , playstation 5 . And why would you go buy a Nintendo Switch ? Basically , you're going to buy it . Let's keep it real . You'll buy it for exclusive Nintendo games .
Speaker 2Most people . You're going to buy it . Let's keep it real . You'll buy it for exclusive .
Speaker 1Nintendo games . Most people will . I agree with you on that . Most people will . You're going to buy it for exclusive Nintendo games . Are you going to buy it mostly for third ? Are you going to buy it for third-party games ? Yeah , if you got PlayStation 5 or the very few who X or X , you're not going to buy it for the third-party games . You'll be third-party games on your Xbox or PlayStation 5 . You go there to play the Nintendo exclusive Switch 2 games .
Speaker 2We'll see , because , remember , you're right , because what is the next biggest ? What are the two biggest exclusive games coming out this year for the Switch ? Donkey Kong . I'll start with Mario . Forget Mario , it's already dropped .
Speaker 1Donkey Kong and Metroid Prime .
Speaker 2Right , yeah , metroid Prime 4 . Beyond . So those are going to be the two biggest games . And if you were to add Kirby , because I know people like Kirby too , if you were to add Kirby in there .
Speaker 1I do not like Kirby , put it on the record . I do not like Kirby Go ahead .
Speaker 2So those are going to be the two biggest Nintendo exclusive games coming out this year . So Nintendo has a good window actually . So we'll see how that goes . And then after that you throw in games , like you just said , madden the WWE , nba 2K . Let's see how that works out , man , because I just want to see how they integrate the features into those systems .
Speaker 1I want to see if they're going to put a Warcraftable on there . Come on of Warcraft to go on there you put an Elden Ring on that .
Speaker 2I forgot you put an Elden Ring on that , so you already know it's going to be business . I think it's going to be fine to be honest with you .
Speaker 1All right , Mr Mason . I mean , like I said , I'm not down on the outlook .
Speaker 2Project 007 . I forgot about they put that on too , so I'm looking forward on that too .
Speaker 1So we'll see it's off to a good start . How many sales do you think it did I ?
Speaker 2should do the numbers for that . Actually , what's the numbers ? In the first four days it did 3.5 million , which is very good . Nintendo's number is best-selling system of all time already for release , for release , for release . So that's great numbers and that's on par with , I'm guessing , the PlayStation . Right , the PlayStation was about the same , give on par with the .
Speaker 1I'm guessing the PlayStation right , the PlayStation was about the same . Give or take the same thing . It's about the same . I'm trying to remember the same thing .
Speaker 2Or PlayStation 5 was a little bit more , it might be I don't think it's that much , because I don't think they had consoles like that . To be honest with you . It might be more . You know , we'll look that up as the show progresses .
Speaker 1Yeah , so , mr Amazing , anything else you want to say about that ?
Speaker 2No , no , no . But you know I'm excited it's out . No more wait , we know about it . So let's see man Now , just to see when the games come out and other people start getting so we can play with them .
Speaker 1Which we're feeling for it's still going to be hard . It's still going to be hard to get , because no one surprised the amazon . It was . Did the amazon resell it ? I don't know if I saw that amazon and those rumors were selling on staples though . Yeah , you said . You said the staples had a couple of them . Yeah , it probably had like 20 or 30 oh , okay , okay when the playstation 5 came out , they had playstation 5 as an xbox series s , but in the eastern area of new york , uh , or the Tri-State area , yeah .
Speaker 2Okay , I actually got the number . So this is crazy . Let's read this out the PlayStation 5 sold worldwide on its launch days . In its first four weeks it shipped 3.4 units . Oh wow , 3.4 million . Nintendo did that in its first four days , damn .
Future Outlook and Game Releases
Speaker 2So we already know that Nintendo surpassed that and Nintendo's on a .
Speaker 1The Godfather gaming strikes back .
Speaker 2But we also have to give it . We also have to be mindful that the places came out during the pandemic , so we also have to be mindful about that Still give it up for the Godfather gaming . Yeah , so that goes to show you .
Speaker 1Yo , godfather , deal with tariffs . Tariffs are coming , tariffs are coming .
Speaker 2So that goes to show you that , yeah , Nintendo blew everything out the window .
Speaker 1All right , mr Mason , let's go to our trailer of the week . All right , our trailer of the week is Pick Up . Starring A Murphy .

Speaker 1Mr Amazing , the pick-up coming August 6th , starring Eddie Murphy . Who else , Mr Amazing ?
Speaker 2What's the star-studded Pete Davidson , Marshawn Lynch , Keke Palmer , Eva Longoria and more . To be honest with you , Yo , I mean it's star-studded . I laughed a couple of times doing the trailer , so it's pretty funny and you know , the story doesn't look bad . It's pretty action-filled as well . From what we saw , the only thing is go for that trope .
Speaker 1You're the older guy , you're retiring , you're a rookie . I'm like oh no .
Speaker 2It's like the young guy with the older guy .
Speaker 1It was just fine . We see it before . I'm about to tell you something happens .
Speaker 2Yeah , it was just true .
Speaker 1You know it's that storyline , but you know , hey , it's how you present it so , mr Maisy , the question is do you green light this trailer , red light it , or y'all light the trailer ?
Speaker 2I'm gonna green it . I laughed a couple of times . You guys got me the trailer , so that's always a good thing . I greenlighted .
Speaker 1I greenlighted , let's hope I think we greenlighted the last A Murphy movie trailer . Which one was that ? Do you remember ? Was it you People , you People ? I didn't see that and also that didn't get good reviews . I think we also greenlighted Beverly Hills Cop . I saw Beverly Hills .
Speaker 2I don't think it was that bad . It was okay . I didn't think it was bad . I saw Beverly Hills Cop . I don't think it was bad , it was okay but it wasn't like the ones we saw in the 80s , 90s . Whatever it was , it wasn't like that , but it wasn't bad . They're older , they're older ?
Speaker 1No , they're older than me .
Speaker 2No , no , no , no it wasn't bad .
Speaker 1No , no , it wasn't good either .
Speaker 2It was mid .
Speaker 1So , mr Amazing , I do really like this trailer as well . But , mr Amazing , let's go to our shoot recap topic of the week . Mr Amazing . So our shoot recap topic of the week is Mr Amazing , hold on a second . Guess what's delayed , uh-oh .
Speaker 2Guess what's delayed . I'm waiting for you to guess what's delayed . Yes , oh , a movie or a game , a tender related , so it's a game . I'm guessing Nintendo , is it something ?
Speaker 1that I'm not going to tell you what it is , I'm not going to say the game , what else ?
Speaker 2Is it something that's been anticipated for a long time ?
Speaker 1Anticipated curiosity . Is it the new Mario movie ? No , mr Mason , it's a Zelda movie , live action Zelda movie . It has been delayed . I'd be looking forward to that . Supposed to be coming out March 2027 . Sorry , 2027 . It's been delayed to May 2027 . It's a few weeks . That's not bad . Actually I don't know , it's just a little more time to cook baby .
Speaker 2Maybe they're working on a new Zelda to coincide with it .
Speaker 1maybe , who knows- Should we care a lot , a little and not all , mr .
Speaker 2Amazing . I'm going to be honest with you . I'm not going to care a lot because I'm still against this movie .
Speaker 1I bet you the Princess Peace movie will be there .
Speaker 2And you know I'm a big Zelda fan , but I'm against it because I don't know how you make a movie where the guy don't talk . He's going to talk now . That's what I'm saying . It's going to be awkward . It's going to be too awkward for us . It doesn't bother me if he don't talk . Come on , keep it real , michael . The guy doesn't say a goddamn word . Vocal word echoes out of his mouth in the game and you're going to see him on the big screen talking . Does Mario really talk ? Yeah , but he talks , though . Oh , come on . He had cartoon shows he talked in . He had so many that he talked in .
Speaker 1Okay , I see the point . Yeah , but you never said that . But Zelda had a cartoon show too and he talked .
Speaker 2He did , but that cartoon wasn't as big as the Mario franchise cartoon shows and so many other stuff he did with that . Is that the same thing ? So I think it's going to be pixel . I said live action , Mr . Mays Live action oh God , I'm kind of skeptical about it If it's pixel , I would say , all right , I can probably get another . Now I'm even more . I don't know if I care about this , to be honest with you .
Speaker 1I don't know , man , I guess , when I see , my trailer .
Speaker 2I'll have a better point of view , but it ain't sounding too good for me , man . What about you ?
Speaker 1I mean , I'm not the biggest I like Zelda . When I heard it was live-action same thing , I was speculating as you , so I'm like I don't know , I'd like to see a live-action Metroid game .
Speaker 2Yeah that's fine .
Speaker 1That'll work . I think that's fine , that would work . I think that would work , that would work .
Speaker 2Zelda . I'm like , I know , because Zelda is so fantasy-based too , so it's like it's so , oh damn , it's like , so fantasy-based . I don't know how they're going to bring that I mean . Yeah , it's like I don't know , we'll see , I will see .
Speaker 1Minecraft was live action and I think Minecraft had I think it sold a billion .
Speaker 2God damn . I'm not surprised , though , the guy popping the damn game is .
Speaker 1So I'm not surprised . I mean we both said I don't care at all . I'll be honest , I mean , unless you see a movie trailer for it . I got to see a trailer to be honest with you , to make me move me to go see it at this point .
Speaker 2I don't really care . Yeah , me too .
Speaker 1No , you don't have me right now I got to see a trailer . I'm like , oh yeah , okay , we'll get to it , because I don't see I'm with Mike on this one if you say , oh , the second Mario Mario movie , mario Brothers movie is coming out , I'm like , ah damn , I seen the movie .
Speaker 1I enjoyed
Trailer of the Week: Pick Up
Speaker 1it it's pulling what it can do . You know what I'm saying . So , everybody , you know how we feel . We don't care at this time . Alright , mr Mason , let's go to . You think I care , mr Mason . Let's go to our Gangsta Awakes of the Week , mr Mason and you know who our Awakes of the Week is our . Awakes of the Week is it's our neighboring state in New Jersey , the GameStop store which one ?
Speaker 2the one ? Uh , it's located in New Jersey , right oh the one , the store I was telling you about .
Speaker 1Oh no , staten Island , sorry , sorry , not New Jersey people , staten Island One of the five boroughs , the five boroughs and people in the New York City , Staten Island is like the lowest rated borough .
Speaker 2No one cares about Staten .
Speaker 1Island Yo , so but anyway , mr Mays do so .
Speaker 2Several customers that went to go shop at GameStop were there . That was a lot of customers then . Yeah , it was a lot actually . So circles that went online , got their Switch 2 Reserve , went to pick up their system , only to find out their system in the box , sealed , were damaged . And you might ask what happened ? Did it fall off the truck ? Was it roughly handled ? No , it was damaged by associates of the GameStop . So what happened was that these GameStop employees were stapling the receipts to the box of the Switch and when they were stapling it , they were stapling it ontoipts to the box of the Switch and when they were stapling it , they were stapling it onto the screen that was puncturing the screen . And then when I read the story , remember you , and I looked at it it was like how did that happen ? When we opened it , we saw how close in proximity the screen was to the box and you know there's no protection . There was no protection .
Speaker 1No protection , there's no protection .
Speaker 2There was no protection , no protection . So yeah , with a I guess with an electric stapler easily could go through that .
Speaker 1Any stapler went through that , it would damage it Easily .
Speaker 2So I don't know . I don't have a number of how many units were damaged , but let's say they had 150 sold . God damn , that's a lot of money .
Speaker 1That's a lot of pissed off people . Excuse our language .
Speaker 2Yeah , no , I was pissed off too . You waited forever , had it reserved . Oh , I just hope this employees who did this didn't get fired because it's not their fault . Fired , Probably so because you died . That's a $500 damage . Fired , Sorry people . Yeah , so that one man . I'm sorry man . It's an automatic dismissal . Yeah , yeah , unfortunately .
Speaker 1And also where these boys are .
Speaker 2The Wankster of the Week . I'm sorry , guys . You guys deserve that one , I'm sorry .
Speaker 1I'm like why are they taping it on there ? I don't know , I don't know if they had the staple like that too .
Speaker 2I don't know had the staple like that too . Oh my God , just give you the receipt , or staple it on the bag when you get the system .
Speaker 1Yeah , give you the free bag and charge 10 cents for the bag . I don't know .
Speaker 2Staple it right on the bag and then keep it moving On the box . It's just crazy . But you can also play Nintendo too , because Nintendo's going to put you to like , don't you know , certain items .
Speaker 1I was surprised . It was like really not protected . That screen was not protected .
Speaker 2It wasn't . By the packaging , I was like oh , you know I'm curious now because , knowing that a stapler could do that , I got to go online and look at one of those drop tests that people be doing . I hate that . I see that when people buy phones or systems and they take it and they throw it off a goddamn roof , they drop it a couple of times to see if it passed the drop test . I'm curious to see if they did . I'm sure they have it online somewhere .
Speaker 1I'm just curious to see how flimsy it's like a survive dropper . People do it on Tyler . That's like a thing .
Speaker 2That's a thing people do , like they buy , especially with phones . It's very popular with phones . People buy phones , strong as a phone is . They do it with systems too . So I'm curious . I want to go watch a Switch video .
Speaker 1I'm not dropping my PS5 .
Speaker 2Exactly , off the thing , just to see how flimsy or strong it is . People do it all the time . It's a thing now and people love it .
Speaker 1I'm good .
Speaker 2I'm with you , I'm with you .
Speaker 1You do it for views . Yeah , I'm All right , mr Amazing , our shout-out of the week goes to Mr Amazing , myself and all of you who got to attend the Switch on day one . Give those people a shout-out . Hey , we see what happened in the news . We're homeboy with the GameStop and tore the GameStop up because he couldn't get one . Don't be one of those people .

Speaker 2It's important for me to ask you right now .
Speaker 1What .
Speaker 2Before we end the show . We don't have to get detailed , because the show has run on long enough . Question number one is going to be how long you think the Nintendo Switch 2 is going to last . Is it going to be as long Eight years ? So do you give it eight years as well ?
Speaker 1Like the Switch , probably seven , six , seven years Seven years , so you give it a year less than the Switch . Yeah , seven , six years .
Speaker 2Okay , and the final question is is the Switch going to surpass the PlayStation 2 sales ? The Switch now .
Speaker 1Switch 1 .
Speaker 2Switch 1 . Because that's the one that's close .
