Since the Switch's release in 2017, we've gotten a few "refreshes" if you will, to the console. A few changes here and there, some small and others a little more noticeable and make the overall system a bit more enjoyable.

Can we just go back to buying things in the stores at MSRP prices like the "old" days? Well, the scalpers are finally lowering their prices with the products slowly but actually showing up on store shelves. Hopefully sooner rather than later, we can finally see some normalcy. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matt-clark630/support
