Nintendo Switch 2: a larger screen, more storage and a Joy-Con that behaves like a mouse
The new hybrid console remains flexible, but is now considerably more confident with its display and connectivity
Nintendo Switch 2 continues the idea that made the first generation so special: the same device can be a handheld console, a tabletop system or a traditional TV console. This time the display feels noticeably more modern. The built-in 7.9-inch screen shows 1080p, supports HDR and up to 120 frames per second, while the dock can output up to 4K. At 4K the ceiling is 60 frames per second, which is still a perfectly sensible combination for television gaming.
The most charming new feature is the magnetically attached Joy-Con 2, which can also work as a mouse in compatible games. The console has 256 GB of internal storage, while expansion uses microSD Express cards. GameChat is also included, with a dedicated C button, a built-in microphone and video chat support for a compatible USB camera. This is not merely a more powerful Switch, but a system that wants to be more useful for social gaming as well.
Is the upgrade worthwhile? For new buyers, Switch 2 is a very convincing entry into Nintendo's ecosystem. Owners of the first Switch will gain most from the better screen, faster operation and new games. Older games are supported in physical and digital form, although Nintendo warns that not all of them are fully compatible. If Nintendo exclusives, a better handheld picture and sofa gaming without a traditional gaming PC matter to you, this is one of the most interesting gaming devices of the current generation.
