Johnny and Ian had a fight about Switch - in video form

Up in Arms.

Ever since its announcement, the Nintendo Switch has been a divisive console. Preorder numbers are looking fairly healthy across the board for the portable hardware, and yet scores of people are playing soothsayer and declaring the Switch will be the death of Nintendo.

Right, my turn. Maybe it's because I was raised playing Nintendo games, but I think there's a lot to be excited about when it comes to the Nintendo Switch. Allow me to convince you.
