YouTuber ProJared managed to secure an interview with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime last week to discuss the Switch in detail. Most of the comments were similar to the ones that have popped up over the past few days, but it’s still worth a watch. Reggie even gets the opportunity to ask some questions of his own.

Thanks to TruExtent for the tip.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of videogame series Etrian Odyssey. The game was first released in Japan for the DS system on January 18 2007.
