All right guys let’s get into some big Nintendo 
Switch 2 news that is just happening at this   point i really like what Nintendo is doing when 
it comes to the new ad campaign it’s the Nintendo   Switch but it’s bigger better and better so 
what do you need to do to kind of appeal to   the nostalgia of the people of yestery year but 
also get the new people into this system well   you have a 150 million plus Nintendo Switch One 
to build off of but essentially with this system   you have the largest power jump that Nintendo’s 
made in a really long time and you also have the   power stars you have the different things that 
suit with Nintendo already so what’s it called   power up power up your play throw it down all of 
these different billboards and signs are starting   to pop up in the big cities around the United 
States and I love the campaign power up your play   take what you love about the Nintendo Switch 2 
and spin it to the next thing now the advertising   for this system is going to be interesting 
because there was some talk on Twitter social   media different stuff like okay how’s Nintendo 
going to position and market this they do have   children that do play the system but with the 
Nintendo Switch One you saw a lot of young adults   now what we do know based off the demographics 
that Nintendo has revealed that yeah the biggest   target audience for Nintendo in terms of who’s 
actually buying and playing the system are 20   to 40 year olds with a huge amount of early 20s 
which now at this point would be about mid20s or   so people playing so people 21 22 23 24 25 in that 
type of range nintendo revealed this huge spike of   people that are that age but they also still have 
a number a very high number of people in their 30s   and 40s people that grew up with the NES or the 
Super Nintendo things like that or the N64 overall   so the Power Up Your Play Throw It Down Mario Kart 
all of that is very good to appeal to the people   that love that type of style back then this is 
essentially what they did with the Super Nintendo   just less ‘9s aesthetic overall now you’re playing 
with power or they did that commercial with Paul   Rudd big titles like Mario Kart World that are 
going to be very appealing for many of the people   that just want something new when it comes to 
Mario Kart man we’ve been playing Mario Kart 8   Deluxe and just Mario Kart 8 for 11 years now 
remember the bestselling game on the Nintendo   Wii U was Mario Kart 8 one of the bestselling 
games was Mario Kart 7 for the Nintendo 3DS   with the Wii U Mario Kart 8 sold over 8 million 
plus units on a system that did 13 million and   then with the Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 
sold over 67 million units so having Mario Kart   right there have it be the centerpiece game with 
your power up and play campaign where you also   have the billboard or throw it down you have Mario 
Kart drifting on there Mario Kart World showing   nice and bright so I think this is definitely 
a good thing to do bringing back Paul Rudd   thought that was awesome i remember watching 
those commercials back in the day and thinking   that was pretty cool and now you have it obviously 
more of like a meme slashthrowback to what he did   back then all these years later 30 something plus 
years later i love what they’ve been doing so far   with the commercial advertisement when it comes 
to Nintendo Switch 2 we’ll see how it actually   works out we have to kind of see and gauge how 
many core players get it and then of course from   there that’s when more of the casual audience 
will pick it up word of mouth other games that   come out big titles things like that so I’m 
really much looking forward to seeing exactly   how everything will shake out but I’m also looking 
forward to seeing how you guys will shake out to   hit that subscribe button so hit that sub button 
if you’re not subbed yet and you enjoy Nintendo   Switch 2 content hit that like button and click 
that notification bell to get my vids as soon as   they drop as we’re dropping a lot of great news so 
let’s go ahead and jump right into the next topic   here guys we’ve got to talk about this upgrade for 
the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Hogwarts Legacy   it just kind of popped up and people are starting 
to report and talk about it shout outs to Warrior   64 and a plethora of people that talked about this 
on Twitter so Hogwarts Legacy for the Nintendo   Switch 2 upgrade is going to be $10 if you already 
own the Nintendo Switch One version now here’s   the cool thing about this right now the Nintendo 
Switch One version is on sale for $17.99 on the   US eShop so if you pick up the Switch One version 
for $17.99 you can get the Switch 2 version for   $10 more so $27.99 now if you compare that to 
the Switch version on the Nintendo Switch 2 yeah   that’s going to be $59.99 or the physical game key 
card that’s also going to be $59.99 so getting the   upgrade is obviously the best thing to do don’t 
just buy it outright if you’re planning on buying   Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch 2 do not 
do that outright digitally because then you’ll   be paying the full price if you buy the Switch One 
version then upgrade to the Switch 2 version once   it’s offered there you will be set and good to go 
right there at launch this is a launch title and   remember this isn’t just the Nintendo Switch One 
version shinier and faster and better which that   game was not the same as the PlayStation 5 and 
Xbox Series version with the seamless open world   and the graphics and other things that it did it 
was definitely developed and played in a little   bit of a different type of way which is why it got 
delayed significantly after the PlayStation 5 and   Xbox Series versions so it is going to be more 
in line with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series   version with the seamless open world much better 
graphics and resolution so that’s the good thing   about Hogwarts Legacy on the Nintendo Switch 
2 it’s actually the real better version of the   game not just the Switch One version that runs 
at better frame rate and resolution so very good   when it comes to that but they’re letting you 
upgrade which Sega is not letting you upgrade   when it comes to Sonic Cross: Shadow Generations 
so definitely a good thing overall with this and   I’d love to see more developers like Sega and 
other developers say “Okay yeah you’re going to   be able to upgrade if the game is on the Nintendo 
Switch One especially with other games that come   out in the future or if they want to make Nintendo 
Switch 2 versions of some of these games that were   on Nintendo Switch One that didn’t run that great 
i think it’d be really cool if they offered some   of these updates.” Now this is definitely a 
good thing because right now Warner Bros games   they’re imploding because of the failure of the 
Suicide Squad game the live service title that   lost them so much money it pretty much crippled 
the development of Wonder Woman after they spent   $und00 million on that game as well plus 
Multiveres got shut down warner Bros is   not doing too hot they’ve actually lost a lot 
of money and they didn’t make anything because   they didn’t release any games so their revenue 
completely tanked and it was essentially all from   Hogwarts Legacy and the evergreen sales from that 
but yeah Suicide Squad was a $200 million failure   they had issues that spiraled out of control when 
it comes to the Wonder Woman game then they ended   up getting shut down obviously multiveres got shut 
down after that thing went offline for what like 6   months plus or something like that it’s just been 
a complete disaster probably the only bright spot   in the last number of years for Warner Bros has 
been Hogwarts Legacy that’s been the best thing   that they’ve done so far so I think that’s the 
reason why they’re just trying to entice people   say “Hey pick up the Switch version get the 
Nintendo Switch 2 version here no problem.”   And yeah like I said I’d love to see more devs 
actually do this as well with the Nintendo Switch   2 sega is the big culprit here with a lot of 
their games that are coming out on Switch One   or came out on Switch One and they’re not doing 
upgrades for Switch 2 so what do you guys think   about that you can let me know in the comment 
section as well but now we’re going to get to   another thing surrounding the game lineup when it 
comes to Nintendo Switch 2 and a very interesting   bit that came out of PAX East 2025 a marketing 
representative from Limited Run Games talked about   what they’re going to be doing for their physical 
titles versus their Game Key card titles and the   main distinction of what you will see throughout 
the life of the Nintendo Switch 2 it seems at   least so this was to Boss Rush and Boss Rush did 
confirm that any limited run numbered releases for   the Nintendo Switch 2 will contain the full game 
on the cartridge aka a true physical release just   like as an example Cyberpunk 2077 Nintendo’s 
first party titles those are all on cartridge   that run off of the cartridge you don’t have to 
download the whole game like a Game Key card now   let’s move to the next thing that they had to say 
games released as a partnership and therefore not   a numbered release may be published as a game key 
card leaving the decision up to the thirdparty   developers so yeah it does look like when it comes 
to the numbered that limited run decide to do   those will be physical for real physical but game 
key cards could come from the outside developers   overall so we’ll just have to kind of monitor that 
and see which games get that and I really don’t   like game key cards just because I don’t like to 
have to rely upon the internet for a physical game   overall although there is a lot of misinformation 
when it comes down to them the games are not tied   to your account so you can actually sell the game 
or you can let a friend borrow the game the game   is actually tied to that physical cartridge that 
you have it’s not tied to your account so I did   see some people trying to say that it’s tied 
to your account it’s not tied to your account   and when it comes to Nintendo shutting down the 
servers I know some people talk about that as well   that’s not necessarily the case either because 
even to this point you know 20some years after   the fact the Nintendo Wii eShop or the Nintendo 
shop from the Wii that you can still download your   games so I still think that Nintendo and these 
third parties will allow people to download their   games for years decades down the line just like 
you can do the same thing with the Xbox 360 stuff   keep that in mind with a game key card i I don’t 
think it’s going to be one of those things to   where they completely shut down something in 
like 2 years or 3 years or whatever the case   is but I still necessarily don’t like the concept 
of having to use the internet and not actually run   off of the card itself just like CD Project 
Red said don’t underestimate physical don’t   underestimate the buying power of the people 
on the Nintendo Switch platform or Nintendo   platforms and now with the Nintendo Switch 2 to 
buy the real physical game and you look at what   happened with Walmart which I talked about just 
the other day where all of the best sellers were   Nintendo’s physical real games in addition to 
Cyberpunk 2077 that was the only real physical   thirdparty game that was in the best sellers and 
Street Fighter 6 street Fighter 6 was there but   that was the only Game Key card game all the 
other ones were not in the best sellers but   of course Nintendo’s first-p partyy games are 
always going to sell better than most of the   third party titles but Cyberpunk was with it as 
well so yeah it’s one of those things to where   if you can get a real physical release definitely 
do so but we’ll see how things progress and we’ll   see what games Limited Run actually gets for 
their numbered lineup when it comes to titles   all right let’s go and move on to the next topic 
here guys we’re going to discuss what’s happening   with the Persona brand because one of the big 
things that people really wanted Atlas to do   and it was a huge controversy/d discussion for 
years until it actually happened and that was   Persona only on PlayStation mainline Persona 
games only on PlayStation we finally saw the   release of something outside of that with Persona 
4 Golden on PC and they instantly sold 1 million   copies realizing that they’ve been doing fake or 
for no reason more like it exclusivity to Sony   for absolutely no reason when there’s a bunch of 
other people out there that would actually spend   the money on a separate platform so following 
that in 2022 I think or so they ended up porting   over Persona 3 Persona 4 and Persona 5 to all the 
platforms Xbox PlayStation Nintendo PC everything   got it and from there the sales have been blowing 
up there was a small fan campaign called Break   Free Persona i know I did a video on that and I 
had a lot of hardcore PlayStation fans say it’s   exclusive because Sony bought exclusivity 
and all this stuff that was never proven or   never indicated by either of these companies and 
obviously it was not true atlas was just doing   exclusives just because maybe because they felt 
they can save on development i’m not really sure   but obviously it was a bad idea because shout out 
to my man Stealth he put up this tweet here and it   says as of March 2025 the Persona series has sold 
3.6 6 million units worldwide since April 2024 3.6   million units sega confirmed that the series has 
sold 830,000 units in January February and March   2025 combined it has become an evergreen series 
for Sega like Mario Kart is for Nintendo so if   you look at what’s happening here 3.6 million 
worldwide pretty much in that oneear span   that was absolutely more than what they would 
have done if you simply put it on one platform   because Persona once again changing demographics 
changing type of areas in terms of where people   are buying games JRPGs there was a huge shift to 
the Nintendo Switch in Japan and all that huge   shift even here in the US of people buying RPGs on 
more than just PlayStation when it comes down to   it after the failure of the Wii U and the 3DS kind 
of faded out people really started buying a lot   of these RPGs on the Nintendo Switch so it only 
made sense along with Microsoft’s money for Game   Pass to put it on their platform as well it only 
made sense for them to finally have it to where it   was on multiple platforms and you see the type of 
success that they’re having now 3.6 million units   as an evergreen type of game because these games 
are older at this point so that’s definitely good   for Persona and it makes sense for what they’re 
going to be doing going forward in the future   overall because I’m pretty sure that Persona 
6 is going to be a multiplatform game unless   somebody ponying up a ton of money which I don’t 
think Nintendo or Sony did this time around and I   don’t think Microsoft did either outside of maybe 
getting it on Game Pass there’s definitely going   to be a ton of people excited to play Persona 6 
on multiple platforms especially Nintendo Switch   2 in Japan and of course PlayStation as well so 
what do you guys think overall with everything   that we talked about here with the Nintendo Switch 
there’s a bunch of great topics let me know in the   comment section below all right guys that wraps
