Switch 2 Price and Tariff Fallout w/ Spencer Pressly & Michael Futter

This week on All Things Nintendo, Shin Megami Tensei Network's Spencer Pressly joins the show to discuss the reaction to the Switch 2 review and all the news that has come out over the last week. Then, former Game Informer news editor and current business development professional Michael Futter joins to analyze the price of Switch 2 and Mario Kart World, plus discuss the impact of the tariffs and the resulting economic upheaval on the console's upcoming launch. Note: In the episode, we discuss the physical copies of Mario Kart World being $90 instead of $80. As of now, that appears to be untrue. We apologize for this inaccuracy.
