Weeknotes #31 (June 07, 2025)
Posted on:
Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.
Things I consumed
- The Nintendo Switch 2 officially launched this past Thursday and with it the main launch title, Mario Kart World. I've been playing it with friends over the past few day and it feels really polished.
- Also of note, the free upgrades for various games like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet or Super Mario Odyssey have impressive performance updates on the Switch 2. Updates such as faster load times, smoother and more consistent framerates are leading to much better experiences. Even games that didn't have explicit updates like Super Smash Brothers Ultimate runs better. So even though Switch 1 games are running through a translation layer, it is able to use the new hardware very nicely.
