During Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct live stream, the video and audio became out of sync, with overlapping audio from different games. The video froze over a cooperative survival game, and an older portion of the video started playing under new audio. Eventually, the video caught up in time for the last big announcements.
The technical issues did not affect the VOD Nintendo put out on its YouTube channel. However, it created a disruption for the Survival Kids team and interrupted the hype moment for Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Companies have moved to digital showcases to avoid technical issues that can occur during live conferences. However, technology still finds a way to cause problems.
The ongoing coverage of the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct is available on Kotaku's website, providing news and analysis about the showcase, including launch games, pricing information, release date, pre-order information, and more.
