Now that I'm home & can type properly: it was super cool! The first thing on the way in was all of those glass cases showing it off, then people got paired off to go play Mariokart World for 20 minutes. I have never actually played Mariokart before but it was fun! #NintendoSwitch2 - ThreadSky

I think we need to talk about you never having played Mario Kart before.

Then we got to wander the floor and pick which games we wanted for an hour and a half. I made a beeline for Metroid Prime 4, because it's my fave. I ran around, shot and/or scanned a lot, and died to the first boss. It will definitely be the first thing I play on #NintendoSwitch2

After that I tried the weird little game that shows you around the console... Astrobot it is not 😂 It was fun and good to try the mouse control, but I'm not sure I'd pay for it (and I'm surprised it's not free with the system tbh). #NintendoSwitch2

I tried Yakuza 0 (just for you, @thesecondbatgirl.bsky.social) and apparently this version will have 30 new cut scenes. (They're also still fixing bugs, it was a big rush to get it out, but I was told it should be in good shape by the time the console ships.) #NintendoSwitch2

A+++++++ friend I appreciate you

I tried the wheelchair basketball game from the direct, I think it's neat but it actually hurt my wrists playing with the mouse mode like that, so that one's a pass for me. I think the mouse controller thing is fun but a gimmick; I'll be curious if it really gets used widely. #NintendoSwitch2

I got pulled into a game of Mario Party Jamboree and that was actually much better for mouse controls. As with all Mario Party minigames it was sheer chaos and luck but super fun to do, and there was a lot of shrieking among strangers, lol. #NintendoSwitch2

Then I played the Kirby Forgotten Land update intro, which was also super fun -- basically the same map as the main game but new weird abilities, I'll definitely play that too.

I also snuck a peek at the TOTK graphics upgrade -- WOW. Quicker and beautiful. #NintendoSwitch2
