Omega Metroid Podcast 261 – Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Live Reaction + Discussion!
18WOW! Today was the day that Nintendo fans have been waiting for: The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and boy what a show we got! After months of anticipation since the January 18th reveal of the console and a lower key Switch 1 Direct last week to briefly tide us over, Nintendo finally delivered the megaton of Switch 2 information that we’ve been craving.
Among the key announcement were the price and release date, Mario Kart World, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, GameCube games coming to Nintendo Switch Online, loads of killer 3rd party titles, console specs, voice chat and screen sharing, options to upgrade your Switch 1 games – including Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and FINALLY, the confirmation of METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND – NINTENDO SWITCH 2 EDITION!
It’s a Zelda Cast x Omega Metroid crossover, as Andy Spiteri, Doominal Crossing and Alasyn Eletha watch the Direct live and give their full comprehensive thoughts on the presentation.
