• What Nintendo ACTUALLY Just Told Us About Switch 2 Pricing, Joy-Con Drift & More

  Thank you so much to our Patreon community for supporting this channel. Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for exclusive content including predictions and reactions to the latest Switch 2 news *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello! We finally got some answers from Nintendo about pricing and some other mysteries about the Nintendo Switch 2 this morning through a number of interviews they did at the event last week. We break down everything Nintendo is saying but more importantly tell you if we actually believe them. We worked at Nintendo on the communications team for over a decade and our job used to be writing these answers for Nintendo spokespeople during interviews. We're definitely looking at this with a critical eye to determine if what they're saying is true or if they are trying distract us with marketing jargon. If you found any interesting nuggets from these interviews, leave it in the comments! 0:00 - Let's break down these interviews 8:01 - Nintendo's answers on pricing 17:38 - What Nintendo said about tariffs 22:03 - Mario Kart World pricing justification 27:04 - New product details (Welcome Tour pricing, Donkey Kong Bananza developer, Hall effect joy-cons and more!)
