We only had the chance to interview her once (with missed promises to do it again) but “Burger” Becky Heineman impacted our gaming lives so much. Vinnk as an Apple II kid and Sean for Out of This World SNES and more. As adults we appreciated her contributions, genius and kindness even more. (1/2)

Gonna play this one (beyond just testing the cart) for the first time in about 20 years… will my nostalgia betray me?

When we noticed that Super Famicom Nintendo Classics got an update today, our first thought was we finally got the other 16-bit mouse game that never came out in the US, and…
WE WERE RIGHT (AGAIN)! Mario & Wario is out now, and available to play for the first time in the US!!

I am exposing my kids to some classic games. They can make entire worlds in Minecraft but it took about an hour for them to figure out level 1-1 in Super Mario. Look at how excited they are when they finally did it. Video games should always feel like this.

We've been poring over Switch 2 information on the Nintendo website, and found this nugget buried in the System Transfer page: all Switch controllers will be compatible with Switch 2.
This is timely news for several videos we are developing, and in keeping with how Switch handled compatibility. ✌️

There’s more, like some great first and third party games, including FFVII finally coming home to Nintendo five console generations (and one human generation) later, but we’re gonna stop for now. Let us know if you want us to make a video version of this summary! /28

We want to update our recent video about how to download the Japanese versions of these consoles, but it may not be possible. @vinnk.bsky.social found out that reportedly Japan will be offering a region locked and a more expensive multi-region Switch 2. Will the US follow suit? #EndRegionLocking /26

Even more shocking, the GameCube virtual console will let you map controls! And not for just the GameCube controller, but any compatible one.
None of the NSO VCs currently do; will that change with the Nintendo Classics rebrand? Will any of the Switch 1 controllers still work? We need answers! /25

I’m sure people are wondering if this will work with Metroid Prime 4, and it very well may since it has all the buttons. I will probably also work with Metroid Prime remastered (mostly), which means we should resurrect a cancelled video about how nostalgia for this control scheme is BAD. /24

Unsurprisingly, there is also a GameCube NSO controller. Like the N64 offering, it has Home and Share buttons along the top, as well as ZL to access the NSO menu. The new C Button is also present.
Will there be no need for a GameCube adapter? (Will they stillwork?) Will these work on Switch 1? /23

This will likely bring more people into the NSO Expansion Pack than N64 or Sega Genesis ever could. It was a good move. /22

Complete and utter shock is the inclusion of the GameCube “Nintendo Classics” virtual console; we were convinced they’d make remakes forever. They said it was for Switch 2 only, and available at launch, so we’ll see just how OG Switch prevents you from downloading Switch 2-only digital games. /21

*Calling back to post 18, the Expansion Pack WILL allow you to play any Upgrade Packs for free so long as you keep your subscription, so it may be hard for us to demo what happens with OG Switch games since @seanorange.bsky.social pays for it. Maybe delete all users, or unsubscribe…? /20

As expected, your NSO subscription will continue to work on Switch 2, but no news of any Switch 2-exclusive titles, like Mario Paint, Mario Artist, or Mario & Wario. :( /19

There are no details on how this will work, exactly, but it will not be free*, which can complicate matters, and is in stark contrast to Microsoft’s model.
This smacks of the $1 “upgrade fee” for porting Wii Virtual Console games to Wii U, but at least it’s optional. /18

Unsurprisingly, some existing Switch games will be enhanced for Switch 2, utilizing 1080p resolutions in handheld mode, presumably 4K in docked mode, and HDR capabilities in both.
Metroid Prime 4 will also have an optional mouse control scheme, which should make FPS gamers VERY happy. /17

Ope, missed this earlier! A leak about the profile of the AC adapter appears to be confirmed. This probably means you can potentially use third-party adapters. Hopefully it actually comes with the system, unlike so many USB-powered devices these days… /16

Switch 2 Pro Controller revealed! No price announced, but the mappable GL/GR buttons on the underside, and the audio jack (and maybe the white plastic on the shoulder buttons? 😂) indicate it’ll may be more than $70. Buttons can only be mapped to other existing buttons. How? That’s for later. /15

Switch 2 will require MicroSD Express cards, but since the console comes with 256 GB of internal storage you may not need to get one — at least for a while. (1 TB cards are PRICEY.)
This means SD cards can’t be used in a system transfers, which requires a Nintendo Account. Need more details! /14

Okay, Switch 2 carts are real! @seanorange.bsky.social thought Switch might be going digital-only for Switch 2, and the slot was just for backwards compatibility. These remind us of the backing colors for Hanafuda cards, though, and it’s probably not a coincidence. /11

Come on, it’s no coincidence they did these animations with the proliferation of the Switch 2 Mouse patent images online. But confirmation mouse functionality works on both, and showcased with a new game that uses both. /9

GameShare is AWESOME. Older Nintendo handhelds had some versions of this, and it’s great to see on Switch. It was showcased with Switch 2, but seems like it will be available on OG Switch as well? Gonna have to check on compatibility with NSO multiplayer games. /8

The optional camera is also our first practical use of the top USB port, so you can still use it in handheld mode. This might solve the problem of other peripherals that could also only work docked; looking at you, GameCube adapter! /5
