That was a great read. I didn’t expect the Switch to suddenly become a graphical powerhouse, but it’s impressive that Nintendo is starting to close the gap with other consoles. I’m really excited to see what kind of games we’ll get next on the Switch 2.

[Sarah77]

Here’s how I see it: I use my Switch for hybrid gaming and Nintendo’s first-party titles, and while it doesn’t match a PC’s power, I’ve got a PS5 for the high-end, performance-heavy experiences. I’ll probably switch to PC next gen, but for now, I’m happy with the setup. What I’m really looking forward to is more stability for existing Switch games—and hopefully for Switch 2 titles as well.

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.
