Thats how these things go.

Its a big deal.

We talk about it.

someone taking a switch 2 out of its dock.

I can appreciate why many fans have found the trailer to be distinctly underwhelming.

The fact is, there was a lot of wow factor on that rooftop thats missing here.

Everyone caught that part at the end, right?

Switch 2 Game Key Cards

You know, where were told that theres a Nintendo Direct en route for April 2nd?

Thats a long time from now, and I am not looking forward to the intervening discourse.

Bringing the fire, showing the games, and probably being a bit quirky along the way.

Waluigi riding a motorcycle in Mario Kart World.

A sneak peek at the shape of things to come.

That wont happen even on April 2nd, because yes, theyve taken a conservative path.

But whatwillhappen is that well all get a far deeper dive intowhat matters most: the games.

Mario looking shocked in Super Mario Odyssey.

And, as soon as we do, discourse will tilt sharply in that direction.

If theres mouse-like functionality, or amiibo 2: amiibo in space, cool.

So, frankly, on April 2nd, 2025, Ill start to give a damn.
