    The Switch 2 could’ve been the Super Nintendo Switch.

    In an interview, Switch 2 producer Kouichi Kawamoto revealed why Nintendo stopped short of giving the console a name reminiscent of the Super NES:

    Super NES, which came out after the NES, couldn’t play NES games. Since Switch 2 can play Switch games, it didn’t feel right to use the same naming convention as Super NES. Switch 2 is a new system with improved performance, but we’d like players who get their hands on it not to focus on the specs, but rather to think of it as the latest system developed by Nintendo.

    Nintendo describes Switch 2 “Game-Key Cards.”

    Some Switch 2 games will be on Game-Key Cards, which don’t come with an actual game on it:

    Instead, the game-key card is your ‘key’ to downloading the full game to your system via the internet. After it’s downloaded, you can play the game by inserting the game-key card into your system and starting it up like a standard physical game card.

    It sounds like this system might replace the physical Switch games that come with a code inside instead of an actual cartridge.

    The Nintendo Switch 2 will cost $449.99.

    Nintendo didn’t reveal any Switch 2 pricing information during the Direct, but it posted a press release with all the details right after it ended. In addition to the new magnetic Joy-Cons, the Switch 2 will come bundled with Joy-Con 2 grips and straps, as well as the new dock.

    There’s also a Mario Kart World bundle that will cost $499.99 when the console launches on June 5th.

    Deltarune is headed to the Switch 2 — and so are its new chapters.

    The game, which comes from Undertale creator Toby Fox, will be available on the Switch 2 when it launches on June 5th. That not only includes chapters one and two, but also the brand new chapters three and four.

    What will we learn about the Switch 2?

    Nintendo has left us with a lot of unanswered questions so far, like whether the Joy-Cons will be magnetic or what that mysterious C-button does. Hopefully, Nintendo will reveal all that and more — and maybe even sprinkle in some surprises, too.

    House Democrats launch investigation into ‘bogus’ FCC probes.

    In a letter to the FCC, Democrats on the Energy and Commerce Committee call out Chairman Carr’s “actions to target and intidimate” media companies in violation of the First Amendment:

    You have launched sham investigations into entities disfavored by President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Republican Party to censor journalists and news coverage. In the absence of actual agency authority and any real evidence of wrongdoing, your pursuit of these actions is clearly intended to punish and burden broadcasters and other media companies by inflicting incalculable reputational harm and excessive costs to defend themselves.

    The Democrats are giving Carr until April 14th to respond to a series of questions about the FCC’s wave of investigations.
