The Nintendo Switch 2 is shaping up to be a meaningful upgrade that sticks to the hybrid formula fans love while modernizing nearly every aspect of the hardware. Launching June 5, the next-gen console features a larger 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen with HDR and 120Hz variable refresh rate support, redesigned and slightly larger Joy-Con with stronger HD Rumble 2 haptics, magnetic snap-on mechanics, and even built-in cameras that let the controllers double as motion-sensitive mice—great for games like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Powered by a custom NVIDIA chip that supports ray tracing, DLSS, G-Sync, and offers 10x the graphics performance of the original, the Switch 2 also includes 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage (232GB usable), dual USB-C ports, Wi-Fi 6, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and microSD Express expansion. While its first-party launch lineup is thin—just Mario Kart World and a demo-style Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour—the real story might be its robust third-party support, with titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 0, and Hitman finally making their way to Nintendo’s ecosystem. Media won’t get review units ahead of time, so this hands-on preview offers the most in-depth look fans will get before the console hits shelves.

I had the original steamdeck and liked it well enough The oled looks nice but it is pricey Is it worth the hype? Or is there an alternative on the market that wins now?

Honestly given how we've basically reached diminishing returns for home consoles and desktops. Then, with the huge success of the Switch and what mobile phones are capable of these days, it makes complete the future of console wars would transition to handheld. I'm curious to see, though, how far are Sony and Microsoft are gonna take their respective handhelds. Will they throw all the support to them or treat them like the classic handhelds were by being a seperate eco-system?

I am an adult. I use parent pin to keep my shit safe. So now I'll need to make a damn alt that can be compromised that can have control over my main... In order to have extra security? I ain't gonna do that. So now it just means I have less security. And as someone who's account is continuously barraged and attacked by PGers... This just makes my account, and items, less safe. I appreciated their update that makes hacking you via cookies obsolete. I remember opting in to that. So that's helpful. I don't know why they would take 5 steps forward and then 3 steps back by removing this tho

• So great for travel too. Use my mini 5 for looking up stuff in the hotel room, planning stuff in Maps, entertainment in the evenings. Much better that a phone in many ways.
