I’m gonna be on the internet? twitch.tv/giantbomb

Lot of embargoed appointments this year. I am seeing video games and I will talk about them someday!

I saw some video games and I’m seeing some more.

Moving to Southern California has actually made any kind of trade show stuff harder, logistically. This morning I get to jump start my car’s dead battery because I don’t drive it often enough and I gotta drive all the way home at the end of the night. Probably should just get a hotel room next year.

Here's me watching today's Summer Game Fest stream as well as Day of the Devs! They're apparently going to make a ninth Resident Evil game? youtu.be/ogeI6zh5xos

They should make Kenny Omega skins for every single character in the game.

Here's this week's NES rankings, including Dragon Warrior II, World Champ, Linus Spacehead, and more! youtu.be/MW2Lp2256-E

Choosing YouTube thumbnails and my options are Kenny Omega or Eric Pope. Hmm. Hmmmmmm.

Live now and ready for Summer Game Fest! twitch.tv/jeffgerstmann

OK, looks like I'm streaming all day! Let's rank some NES games and then, later, the Summer Game Fest stuff? twitch.tv/jeffgerstmann

aw yeah, starting to get the *good* sponsored stream offers now

Uh... so much for my Pro controller?

The Switch 2 feels noticeably warm every time I pull it out of the dock. I don't remember the old one being that way.

thank you @jeffgerstmann.com for the callout youtu.be/xDG0aX43dR8?...

There are quotes from me in this Fortune article about the ol' Nintendo Switch 2. I believe it'll also be in the next print edition. fortune.com/asia/2025/06...

They made another Nintendo Switch and here is me playing around with it, Mario Kart, Cyberpunk, Ridge Racer, Street Fighter, Fast Fusion, and more. youtu.be/Wjr85NYS_5M

Important size comparison

Introducing the kids to a handheld they’ve never seen before.

Hey, I Got A Switch 2. twitch.tv/jeffgerstmann

Anyone seeing a Switch 2 connect to anything other than 2.4Ghz wireless? Trying a wired connection to see if it speeds up these downloads.

Really hope that the NPR interview I did today leads to more people seeing me put a Switch 2 cartridge in my mouth.

Want to see me seeing the PlayStation State of Play? You can! It's right here! They're making a new Lumines! youtu.be/xDG0aX43dR8

Weren't these joycons supposed to be sturdier? They still flex when connected and now seem to move a bit when I'm pressing the buttons and/or D-pad?

It’s time to answer the Switch 2 question that matters most: What do these cartridges taste like? youtu.be/Z0lm29zqPXc

People in this line are talking positively about Mario Sunshine. I’m going to jail tonight baby

Must be getting closer to the non-pre-order line, I smell sickly sweet vape clouds

Most of the people in the pre-order line look like tired parents. The people in the didn’t pre-order line look younger, they brought chairs, they’re running a livestream, cool dude stuff like that.

Crap, I forgot to check Luke Amiibo and I don’t have a pen.

There are probably like 300 people here. A little girl in pajamas keeps asking if it’s 9:00 yet, she wants to go home and play Mario Kart _real_ bad.

Lines for Switch 2 are wild. Both the new purchase and the pre-order lines stretch around the sides of the building. Probably should’ve gotten here earlier.

Hey, I took a quick look at the new DLC for The Division 2. Seems pretty nice, but then every time I go back to this game it makes me want to play another 30-40 hours of it. youtu.be/p968nuMQCxo

Hopefully the Mortal Kombat kollection includes the definitive Mortal Kombat experience, Mortal Kombat New Era Beta 5.0. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tejn...

Is there some last-minute embargo or something preventing outlets from actually covering the Switch 2? Or is there just no one left to cover a console launch anymore? I feel like I'm going crazy, why aren't there a ton of little stories or big livestreams from the places that got hardware today?

Due to new legislation it is now permissible to both talk AND game on a live stream. Exciting times! twitch.tv/jeffgerstmann
