Punching Up, Episode 21 | Switch 2 Delayed... What Now?

Nintendo fans have received some bad news: Nintendo’s next console, originally expected to release later this year, has been internally delayed to early 2025. While the reasoning may be sound, pointing to creating a better lineup of launch games, it’s still disappointing for those of us who are waiting. In the meantime, though, Nintendo still has other things to show us in the here and now, most notably with a new Partner Direct. Brad joins the crew this week to discuss all the news while Dagan is away, and you don’t want to miss it. Enjoy!

Punching Up, Episode 21 | Switch 2 Delayed... What Now?

Comments

Micah, if you see this, can you confirm if you are going to make Colin dance with you to the beautiful music of Hayley Westernra?

Switch 2 delay is a bummer (if true) but will allow me to buy a Steam Deck OLED.

As a Pokemon fan, it's unbelievable frustrating listening to people that haven't liked the games in over a decade talk about what they should be doing differently. Gen 9, despite the god awful performance, are the best Pokemon games. It's okay if they aren't for you anymore. Just play something else

James Hill

When the shows bi weekly, I kind of expect it to be at least as long as defining Duke, honestly.

Bailey Callis

I don’t think the Switch was ever really coming in 2024. Maybe they were optimistic about it but realistically planning for 2025.

I’ve always noticed this on Sacred, even repeating audio, although that has improved lately.

Helldivers 2 tip, if you are stuck on the opening menu where it says error or even if it says the servers are full, go to your PS home screen and then the Helldivers 2 app. Scroll down and choose quick play and you’ll get into the server no problem.

Love the Brad guest appearances lately

Was it just me, or were there a lot of jarring edits in this episode? Great content as always! Just stuck out to me a bit.

Dude, I wanna hear Micah talk about more about her travels through the Banner Saga. I just played the first game and was blown the hell away.

P3R is also much easier than P3P, FES and Vanilla.

Brad fit like a glove here. He should be a permanent member. He probably knows Nintendo better than anyone in LSM.

The Dagster is irreplaceable

D-money, Penny’s Big Breakaway runs like a dream on Steam Deck. Locked 90fps on my SD OLED and the colors pop even without HDR

Zeke the Plumber

No shade to Dagan, but I will start a petition to make Brad a permanent member of Punching up.

Dakota Brown

ENOUGH with the Nuts & Bolts slander! 😡

Colin Moriarty

I am ever convinced the Switch 2 will never come, but every year we will talk about the new Switch coming “next year!” Hahaha Nintendo’s gonna keep us in the loop for generations.

Jayce Tamulevich

Switch 2 delay is a bummer but honestly I’m not that bothered by it. PS5 Pro at end of 2024, Switch 2 in early 2025 works for me

Best Cologne: Mandarina Duck Pure Black. That shit is CASH—

Saint947

When Star Wars Battlefront appeared I got so hyped. These games are gonna slap on the Switch.
