And then we were ushered out to play Donkey Kong Bananza, which apparently comes out on my birthday?! Happy birthday to ME, it was GREAT. Not quite open world but lots of room to explore and find secrets, and it was SO fun. Metroid is my forever fave, but that's my #2 from the day. #NintendoSwitch2 - ThreadSky

And then on the way out, the bored ushers downstairs all clapped for everyone 😂 They also gave us backpacks as swag -- really nice ones actually, with a pocket meant to fit the Switch2 and a padded sleeve inside for a laptop, I will actually definitely use that. #NintendoSwitch2

I am not knowledgeable enough to give anyone info about the specs, etc -- what I can say is that everything ran REALLY smoothly and felt zippy. I loved the snappy magnet joycons even if I think mouse mode is probably not going to be widely used. #NintendoSwitch2

It's a little bigger than the original Switch and definitely feels it, but even with my tiny hands it wasn't hard to hold. I liked the click-in joycon holder mode (no idea what that's called) and the pro controller was fine but I almost always play handheld anyway. #NintendoSwitch2

Do the joycons click in from the bottom instead of the top???? I've been dying to know this!

(But not enough to...do a simple Google search, obvs)

They're magnetic so you just hold them at the side and they click in! Then there's a button near the top on the console part that releases them and you can pull them off.

If they've fixed the thing where I have to stop every half hour to reattach the joycons I truly ask no more!

Anyway!! It was really cool!! The event was nice and well organized and the system is great and ahhhh I'm still so jazzed, I can't believe I was lucky enough to win this lotto, and YES I will DEFINITELY be pre-ordering one, tariffs be damned (uggggh). (end thread) #NintendoSwitch2
