The event @SWinxy BigKrow (talk) 20:24, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I was at the launch of the Switch 2. SWinxy (talk) 21:00, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Needs your sources. @SWinxy BigKrow (talk) 21:36, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

I'm aware. Once I'm done writing the original reporting I will send the notes to reviewers. SWinxy (talk) 22:57, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi @SWinxy, did you tell the interviewees that they're being interviewed for Wikinews? Or something of that sort? Gryllida 19:52, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

I tell them I'm interviewing for Wikimedia NYC. It's been a week, but I think one or two asked where they could find it, and I told them Wikinews. SWinxy (talk) 20:11, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Original reporting notes

I went to the Nintendo NY store in the afternoon and night of June 4th to take photos and interview attendees. The afternoon had a big demo of Mario Kart World—which I did not try—and in the night was the midnight launch of the Switch 2. SWinxy (talk) 03:02, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Interview details

During my time there, I interviewed several people who were there to play the demo, get the Switch 2 at midnight, or both. I interviewed a few of the first people to get the console here (after they bought it), among others. People were largely excited for the launch. Those who are numbered as being first/second/xth in line can be verified in the photos from the night. SWinxy (talk) 03:02, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
