Episode 928: Ultra-Italian Luigi

The key to maximizing your Italian isn't genetic, it's pas-tetic

The Switch 2 has arrived, and with it Jon and James have returned.

For three weeks, you have been spared J&J Nightmare Factory, and now they return like a dark specter stalking the lands. Crops will fail, children will quake, dogs will... pee in places it is inconvenient for you as a pet owner...

I really can't fathom having a dog and having carpeted floors. It just seems like you're asking to fight a losing battle, between the shedding and the urine. And lord, just the general smell. Hardwood is the way to go...

Wait, sorry Switch 2.

We start the show with some impressions of the hardware, and the process of getting it. James bought Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour (00:11:33) FOR YOU! He has impressions FOR YOU about the challenges, facts, quizzes, and yes the fact it has a price tag. After a break, we go into the game that...literally everyone is talking about, Mario Kart World (00:59:33). Keep in mind, Switch 2 had only been out 20 hours as of recording, so treat this as early impressions.

Beyond Switch 2, we also address... GameCube games on NSO for Switch 2 (02:06:23)! The fact NES Bionic Commando is in Street Fighter 6... ON SWITCH 2! And the new convenient ways to post screenshots and video on... you get the joke.

An artist is never appreciated in his time, I'm going to go watch more Mr. Iguana matches!

We have two dogs & two elderly cats.  We have no carpet in the house & it is such a relief.

I don't have any issue with Welcome Tour being $10 because yeah, less than a tip on a meal or delivery these days.  I also agree that business side of it is up for grabs at the moment.  I wonder, though, if it could have been an advertising vector for Nintendo if it had been installed on all Switch 2s.  Hey, did you know there are extra peripherals worth $95 available?  Why, here is what they do and how they work!  Now you need to own one to go in-depth and play the demos to get all of your Welcome Tour Achievements!  Then, update it every time a new peripheral like ring fit or labo comes out and notify Switch 2 owners.  Rinse and repeat.

I haven't found dogs (well 6 months+) too much of a problem, but cats man, cats.
