I’m so excited for camping out! From camping for the Wii with my future wife to the Wii U and Switch with a great friend, I’ve created some great memories along the way.

Switch battery aside, multiplayer in line should be a hoot! I wonder if I should bring a projector to cast onto a wall!

You should stay home. Everything the Switch 2 has shown me has been disapointing. I WANT to like Switch 2. I just don't.

Also why isn't it called the "Switcharoo"???

Iwata is missed.

I'm more stoked for the launch day games to be pirated and fully functioning on the current emulators because it's not actually different hardware/architecture compared the the switch.

Someone should notify Nintendo. They went through all the trouble of emulating Switch software on the Switch 2 hardware. Had they known it was the same architecture they could have saved themselves the trouble.
