Former Nintendo staff have urged the company to change its marketing around the Switch 2 after some have complained that the console is riding a wave of confusionTech12:47, 01 May 2025You will need to act fast to get a Switch 2(Image: Nintendo)We're desperate to get our hands on the Nintendo Switch 2, but it'd be fair to say that the sequel to one of the most beloved consoles of all time has hardly been a slam dunk.While there's little Nintendo can do about 'diabolical' Trump tariffs, there's been plenty of misunderstandings that can give Microsoft's rough Xbox One launch a run for its money.‌From knowing how much of a game is on a cartridge, to questions about which peripherals work with which games and the upgrade process for Switch 1 games.‌That's prompted Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang, former Nintendo marketing employees, to comment on the rollout on their recent podcast.
