    Imagine dropping $80 for Mario Kart 😂

    Never cared much for racing games, so I’ll hold off until we get a Mario game proper

    Imo the switch 2 looks boring and generic compared to the 1st one. Extremely hard pass.

    “You dont need it now, theres only one real game” also “stay tuned for our review!” Hilarious.

    Second person i seen on YouTube that put the switch remote upside down lol 😆

    1:40 They even color-coded them to discourage putting the controllers on the wrong way. 😅

    It’s ok to wait for a Switch 2 because is lacks games? That’s one way to undersell the absolutely MASSIVE incentive to play backwards compatible games which – even WITHOUT free/paid enhancement patches – will AUTOMATICALLY be hitting their original performance targets – both frame rate AND the upper limits of their dynamic resolutions, and faster loading for good measure.

    There are a TON of Switch 1 games that I can’t wait to play/replay!

    June 5, 2025 at 11:53 am

    “only console of 2025”. That packaging looks horrible. why is the main unit, right at the top, with the screen up!!! Surprised they are not getting damaged. The steam deck and the Switch had a baby?!…. I don’t think so lol

    • @curriemike

      June 5, 2025 at 3:01 pm

      Lol – some store STAPLED receipts to the front of all the pre orders and ruined all the screens. 😂

    June 5, 2025 at 12:50 pm

    When you have a family you don’t just get one switch you get many therefore the prices are going to go through the roof and Beyond! Tell me something do people still sit in front of a TV and play together on the same TV anymore? Or is this the unforeseeable future in which everybody has to have their own devices?

  16. @p0lishsausage

    June 5, 2025 at 12:53 pm

    I’m going to wait until they decide to pack the Switch 2 with the screen facing inward.

  17. @twitchster77

    June 5, 2025 at 1:44 pm

    Meh. I have almost no excitement for this thing…and I really wish I was 🙁

    Nope not yet

  19. @stycks32

    June 5, 2025 at 2:22 pm

    I put the joycons on upside down when I unboxed mine too. Lmao. At least it didn’t hurt anything.

  20. @Marvel_vs_Capcom84

    June 5, 2025 at 2:31 pm

    If the switch 2 had the following upgrades it would be worth it.

    1. noticeable better graphics on par with PlayStation 5

    2. Bigger memory space without the need of an SD chip talking like bare minimum 500 GB built in

    3. The ability to download apps like Netflix to watch movies and TV shows

    4. Switch TV remote for the apps you download

    5. Two switch remote controllers for if you wanna hook your switch up to your TV

    6. Faster loading times would be the bare minimum

      @@curriemike 400nits is poor, just the usual Nintendo cutting corners on the screen quality

  21. @marty8370

    June 5, 2025 at 3:48 pm

    Switch 2 most overated/over priced console of 2025

  22. @krampusapprenticeofdarksan7870

    June 5, 2025 at 6:29 pm

    Is it me or do I get the feeling that they will eventually release a Switch 2 lite for those not really interested/turned off by the magnetic joycons?

  23. @WafflesIsTheStuff

    June 5, 2025 at 7:21 pm

    The idea of Switch 2 being a lovechild of Steam Deck and Switch sounds wonderful. I would love to have that one day but to be honest, that day won’t come anytime soon. I am very careful in that sense.

  24. @davidraquepas2344

    June 5, 2025 at 7:48 pm

    Look super premium but that cartridge slot looks weird. Whatever the heck is that floppy thing it feels like its going to be the thing that breaks on these consoles

  25. @mn3438

    June 5, 2025 at 8:11 pm

    100 usd for an Mario with ps2 graphics well done 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

  26. @SmashKing17

    Loving my Switch 2 get Fast Fusion on the Store and Mario Kart is fun. It feels like an adventure driving game

  27. @GGori_99

    June 6, 2025 at 6:17 am

    Here’s the thing.. Steam Deck will get smaller.. ROG Alley perhaps too.. and they are way more powerful than the Switch 2.. and the price gap isnt that bad from Switch 2 as well..

    • @ILoveGrilledCheese

      June 6, 2025 at 12:05 pm

      The deck and ROG have no chance against the switch and never will. People don’t buy handheld pcs.

  28. @Circa_Tsunami

    June 6, 2025 at 9:15 am

    Just going to wait until more games come out, I like mario kart but its not a system seller for me personally.

  29. @quietloop79

    Just perfect!

  30. @unkown34x33

    June 6, 2025 at 9:58 am

    let me get this straight it has a worse battery life than the original switch, more expensive games and no physical copies on Nintendo games specifically… and it costs more… yeah I’ll pass

  31. @JustinPinedaMedia

    June 6, 2025 at 7:50 pm

    I wish Jeff Bakalar unboxed this lol

  32. @dmx71234

    Glad to watch this quality review videos. Tired of watching this random YouTuber and influencer videos.

    Accumulating ALX now is like catching Ethereum under $10 — sounds dramatic, but that’s how early this feels.

  34. @BAYAN̊-c8i

    June 7, 2025 at 3:10 pm

    Got my ALX bag ready. AI + early entry = massive upside 📈🚀

  35. @RogerBeAr-g3i

    June 7, 2025 at 3:11 pm

    If Alaxio gets even one decent exchange listing, this thing could blow sky high.

  36. @LitzyBorja

    June 7, 2025 at 3:12 pm

    Airdrops? Incentives? Alaxio’s rollout looks perfectly designed to reward early believers.

  37. @MatthiasMatthias-k4z

    June 7, 2025 at 3:13 pm

    The fact that Alaxio isn’t mainstream yet makes this a rare early advantage.

  38. @ErvNoel-h9v

    June 7, 2025 at 3:15 pm

    Getting ALX at these levels feels like buying Solana at $0.50.

  39. @XSilvaWolf-v8m

    June 7, 2025 at 3:16 pm

    Alaxio is quietly building a storm. This is where big ROI stories begin.

    This is by far the most painful unboxing I’ve seen. CNET does not even have a pocket knife? 😅

  41. @8eefcake

    June 8, 2025 at 10:05 am

    It’s the most painful unboxing I’ve seen recently. Where’s the small blade, knife, pair of scissors… 😂 Cool stuff tho😅
