Much like David Attenborough, I spent the evening of the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch observing a wonderful migratory pattern. Around 4:00pm AEST, the notifications for my console were popping off. Edmond logged into Mario Kart World. Steve logged into Mario Kart World. Then Ugg, Ree, Bibby, and more. Slowly, the working folk were migrating from the CMS and spreadsheets to the bright, colourful world of Mario Kart.

If online chatter is any indication, the game brought them all just as much joy as it brought me.
