We visited Nintendo's offices to try out some Switch 2 games coming out early this year.

To find out what Ellen thought (whether you already have a Switch 2 or are thinking of getting one), check out our new video: youtu.be/U8wDyy9i0Wo
Ellen smiles with her hand giving a peace sign in front of Nintendo's Frankfurt office. Ellen poses with another peace sign, next to a large model of Mario in his Elephant Form from Super Mario Bros Wonder Ellen poses looking excitedly shocked, with her hand in front of her mouth, in front of the Nintendo Frankfurt office, with Grace from Resident Evil Requiem. Grace might be superimposed but we will never tell. Ellen looks back over her shoulder towards the camera with a scared look on her face. On the TV screen in front of her, a monster from Resident Evil Requiem eats a corpse. Delightful.

Ellen has learned some important lessons from her time whimpering and crouch-walking through horror games, and she's in a spookily-lit room to tell you all about it.

Watch here ➡️ youtu.be/fNlO1kWkhFs?...
Ellen is looking intensely at the camera, with dramatic blue lighting and smoke (read: harmless water vapour) filling the room around her. She is holding her hands like little crabby pincers, snip snip!

Mike scratches his head and points at something. Everyone looks deep in thought at a TV off-screen, Jane is tilting her head to get a better look, and Andy has his fingers steeples in front of his face.
