I have a confession to make: my strongest desire in the wake of the official Nintendo Switch 2 reveal isn't necessarily to know more about it. It's not finding out whether that USB-C port on top is actually for a second screen, and it's not to learn more about Mario Kart 9 (or is it Mario Kart 10?) or anything of the sort. No; I want to know what the new Nintendo Switch 2 cartridges taste like.
Some context is perhaps necessary to understand that this is not some unusual perversion or fetish of mine, though there is an argument to be made that it is an unhealthy obsession. Most importantly, and in case you somehow weren't already aware, Nintendo Switch cartridges – the physical units that games come on that you actually insert into a Switch – are coated in a bittering agent. Specifically, every single one of them bad boys has a healthy helping of denatonium benzoate, according to Nintendo.
