Switch 2 and the one-tap test
Nintendo shipped a $450 console the same week people opened Remix and played a game in four seconds. Both can be true.
Switch 2 launch week was loud — lines, scalpers, "will Mario run at 60?" takes everywhere. Deserved hype. Nintendo still makes the best first-party hardware in the business.
But most people aren't buying a console on launch day. They're opening whatever's already in their pocket.
That's the one-tap test: how fast can you go from bored to playing? On Remix it's a link, a swipe, a game. No update, no account creation wall, no "enable notifications to continue."
Consoles own the couch. Feeds own the in-between moments — the bus, the lobby, the five minutes before your friend shows up. We're not trying to replace Switch. We're trying to win the gap between Switches.
Astro Jump is the kind of game that only works if the friction is zero. One thumb. No tutorial. You get it or you don't, and either way you're only out thirty seconds.
That's the bar. Not "better graphics." Faster to fun.
