TODAY, we'll be talking about how Nintendo has basically won the console wars. Or have they? So much has happened over the last few weeks around the games industry with really bad layoffs and studio closures from Microsoft and Sony in a constant state of needing to squeeze more profit for the incredibly expensive games they're making. With Nintendo announcing officially that Switch 2 is on the way and still showing super strong sales for original Switch, they've won right? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we react to even more Switch 2 leaks, share some early predictions for the June Nintendo Direct, and we're playing a ton of cool indie games. We wrap it all up with questions from our adorable Patreon subscribers. A packed episode is coming right up!
