Doug Bowser erklärt, warum Nintendo die Switch 2 im Juni 2025 veröffentlicht. Timing, Sommer und Reisezeit spielen eine große Rolle.
Die Nintendo Switch 2 erscheint offiziell am 5. Juni 2025 – doch warum hat sich Nintendo genau für diesen Monat entschieden? In einem aktuellen Interview mit NPR erklärte Nintendo of America-Präsident Doug Bowser, dass es keinen festen Zeitpunkt für Konsolen-Launches gebe. Vielmehr seien sowohl die Hardware als auch die Launch-Spiele bereit gewesen.

Doug Ford government open to taking over #Gardiner, #DVP to help fix #Toronto’s finances, sources say
That makes a lot of sense. And Toronto has leverage, which Tory never wanted to use.
Don't want to pay for it? Then we bring it down and make a city boulevard, why should we pay for it?
Feels so good to have a proper mayor.

Bus strikes across South West Wales come to an end after deal agreed
The company announced this week that a revised pay offer has been accepted by staff, lifting the threat of further walkouts and restoring certainty for passengers.
Agreement brings relief after months of disruption
Industrial action by Unite members had caused widespread disruption to services in Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Llanelli and beyond, with strikes stretching into the autumn and winter.
Several rounds of negotiations saw offers rejected, strikes postponed, and services repeatedly thrown into doubt. At one stage, Unite confirmed action would continue into January, escalating concerns for commuters and local councils.
The breakthrough came after First Cymru tabled an improved offer, which has now been accepted.
First Cymru statement
Doug Claringbold, Managing Director of First Bus Cymru, said:
“We are pleased that the revised offer has been accepted by colleagues and that the threat of further strike action has been lifted. This agreement provides certainty for our teams and our customers, and enables us to move forward together.
“Our priority now is to restore confidence and deliver the reliable, consistent services that our communities depend on every day. We want to thank our customers for their patience during this period of uncertainty, and we look forward to welcoming back anyone who may have been affected by the recent disruption.”
Looking ahead
The end of the strikes will be welcomed by thousands of passengers who rely on First Cymru buses daily for work, school and essential travel. Local leaders, including Neath Port Talbot Council, had previously voiced concern about the impact of prolonged disruption on communities and businesses.
With the agreement now in place, attention turns to rebuilding trust and ensuring services run smoothly through the busy winter period.

‘Underpaid’ First Cymru drivers set for continuous strike as union demands ACAS talks
Union says Welsh drivers earn less than Bristol colleagues
Unite the Union has warned that bus services across South and West Wales face major disruption from next week, as drivers prepare to begin a continuous strike lasting until 21 January 2026.
The union says its members in Wales are “underpaid” compared to colleagues in Bristol, despite working under the same operating company. Bristol drivers earn £17 an hour, while Welsh drivers are paid £13.40.
Unite confirmed that the latest offer from First Cymru — £14.07 per hour — was rejected, citing concerns that the company intended to withhold the majority of back pay owed to workers.
Union calls for ACAS mediation
Unite representatives said their “door has always been open” for talks and criticised First Cymru for failing to take up earlier proposals to involve ACAS in mediation.
“They contacted us ahead of the previous industrial action, which lasted for four days from the 5th of November, proposing ACAS. We said absolutely. They said it would be on the basis that the industrial action was withdrawn, and our drivers were not prepared to do that,” the union said.
“We’re now sitting here in November still waiting for an acceptable offer. The employer has delayed and delayed and delayed. So our members were adamant that they will take that industrial action.”
First Cymru says strikes ‘unnecessary and disruptive’
In a statement issued on 5 November, Doug Claringbold, Managing Director for First Bus in Cymru, said the company was “deeply frustrated” by the union’s decision to announce two months of strikes.
“These are unnecessary and, most importantly, they will be hugely disruptive to our customers during the festive period when many hope to use buses to shop, meet friends and family and enjoy Christmas parties. It is within the hands of the union to stop this action,” he said.
Mr Claringbold added: “We have always maintained an open dialogue with the union and while they continue to reject our offers we still hope to find a solution to encourage the union to call off their strikes. We have been committed to improving the pay of drivers, and alongside our above inflation offer, we continue to invest in staff facilities and conditions, and a range of benefits, including healthcare schemes.”
He confirmed that revised timetables would be published on the company’s website and urged passengers to check before travelling.
Six‑day countdown to walkout
On social media, Unite Wales warned that First Cymru now has just six days before drivers return to the picket lines.
“Again, we call on First Cymru to do the right thing and end this dispute before Christmas,” the union posted. “Our members do not want to disrupt the general public, particularly over Christmas, but until First make a decent pay offer and release their back pay, strike action will continue.”
What it means for passengers
The strike is set to run continuously until 21 January 2026, covering the entire festive period. Bus services across Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, and Carmarthenshire are expected to be heavily affected, with both sides urging dialogue but standing firm on their positions.

First Cymru warns of festive disruption as strike dispute escalates
The company issued its response after Unite accused the operator of “union‑busting” in the ongoing pay dispute. Strikes are scheduled to begin on 20 November and continue until 21 January, covering the peak festive travel season.
Doug Claringbold, Managing Director for First Bus in Cymru, said the company shared customers’ frustration at the prolonged action. “These are unnecessary and, most importantly, they will be hugely disruptive to our customers during the festive period when many hope to use buses to shop, meet friends and family and enjoy Christmas parties. It is within the hands of the union to stop this action,” he said.
Claringbold stressed that First Cymru had maintained an open dialogue with Unite and continued to seek a resolution. “We have always maintained an open dialogue with the union and while they continue to reject our offers we still hope to find a solution to encourage the union to call off their strikes,” he added.
The company highlighted its above‑inflation pay offer, alongside investment in staff facilities, conditions, and benefits such as healthcare schemes. Claringbold warned that further strike announcements were damaging the reputation of bus travel in Wales and disrupting public travel plans.
First Cymru confirmed that revised timetables will be published on its website shortly, with ongoing reviews to maximise the number of services available. Passengers are urged to check the operator’s website before travelling.

First Cymru bus strikes set to continue into January as dispute escalates
Passengers across south and west Wales face weeks of disruption after drivers rejected the company’s latest pay offer. The union says members are determined to secure a fair settlement, while First Bus has warned the extended action will cause major disruption during the festive season.
Unite confirms escalation
In a statement posted on Facebook, Unite said:
“First Cymru workers have decided to significantly escalate their dispute with their employer over their rate of pay and back pay. Further strike action will commence on the 20th of November and will continue until January 21st 2026. Our members do not want to inconvenience the general public over Christmas, but First can fix this with a fair pay offer.”
The union has already staged walkouts since late October, with services across Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire heavily affected.
First Bus response
Doug Claringbold, Managing Director for First Bus in Cymru, said:
“We, like our customers, are deeply frustrated that the union has announced two full months of strikes in south and west Wales from November 20 and continuing right through to January 21. These are unnecessary and, most importantly, they will be hugely disruptive to our customers during the festive period when many hope to use buses to shop, meet friends and family and enjoy Christmas parties. It is within the hands of the union to stop this action.
“We have always maintained an open dialogue with the union and while they continue to reject our offers we still hope to find a solution to encourage the union to call off their strikes.
“We have been committed to improving the pay of drivers, and alongside our above inflation offer, we continue to invest in staff facilities and conditions, and a range of benefits, including healthcare schemes.
“We will continue to keep as many services running as possible, but announcing even more strikes is severely disrupting the public’s travel plans and damaging the reputation of bus travel in Wales.
“Our revised timetables will be available on our website shortly, and we will review these over the coming weeks to ensure we get as many buses out as possible for our customers. We encourage customers to check our website for more details before travelling.”
What it means for you
The extended strike action means bus services across south and west Wales will remain severely disrupted throughout November, December and into January. Passengers are advised to check revised timetables on the First Cymru website before travelling and to expect reduced services during the festive period.

First Cymru confirms bus strikes will go ahead after pay offer rejected
Company “disappointed” as talks fail
Doug Claringbold, Managing Director for First Bus in Cymru, said the company was “disappointed for our customers” that its “above inflation pay offer” had been rejected.
He added:
“Throughout this extensive negotiation process, we have listened to Unite the Union member feedback and made a number of offers in order to try and settle this dispute, to ensure customers who rely on our services are not affected by strike action.
Unfortunately, rather than work with us to find a resolution, Unite the Union has decided to press ahead with strikes, affecting our customers. Our door remains open to negotiation.”
The company said it will shortly publish details on its website about which services will be affected.
Strike dates confirmed
Unite the Union has confirmed that strike action will take place on the following dates (inclusive):
- Thursday 30 October – Sunday 2 November
- Wednesday 5 November – Saturday 8 November
The union has previously warned that strike action would “shut down” the bus network across South and West Wales.
Background
The dispute has been ongoing for several weeks. Earlier this month, strike action was postponed after a new pay offer was tabled by First Cymru full story here.
Unite has consistently argued that drivers deserve a fairer deal, warning that without improved pay, services and communities would continue to suffer. The union has also said that First Cymru’s drivers are among the lowest paid in the UK bus industry.

What happens next
With strike dates now confirmed, passengers across Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire face significant disruption.
First Cymru says its “door remains open” to Unite for further talks, but unless an agreement is reached, services will be severely reduced or cancelled during the strike periods.
