Bridget has acquired a Switch 2, so for this episode she’s sharing her first impressions and what’s she’s been playing on it so far. We also go over the significant performance boost she’s seeing for older Switch titles, including fixing some noticeable slowdown in Kirby Star Allies. And we close with some reflections on the Switch 2’s exciting new GameCube library.
