The Nintendo Switch 2 has been released with a 7.9-inch screen capable of reaching 120 Hz, upgraded Joy-Con 2 controllers, and 256 GB of internal storage. This new console continues the hybrid design that allows users to play both on a television and on the go. The console is currently available on Amazon for 419 euros, which is about 11 percent less than its original price of 469.99 euros. However, the new suggested retail price is 499.99 euros. The package includes the console, two Joy-Con 2 controllers, a docking station, and accessories for use.
The Nintendo Switch 2 keeps the core functionality of its predecessor, allowing the console to be used in portable mode, placed on a table, or connected to a television using the included docking station. The internal storage has been significantly upgraded to 256 GB, which is four times the capacity of the original Switch. This increased storage allows for more complex and larger games to be installed directly on the console. Users can also expand the storage using a separate microSD Express card. When connected to a television, the dock enables a boosted mode, allowing compatible games to run in 4K resolution at 60 Hz.
The Joy-Con 2 controllers now use magnetic attachment, making it easier to connect them to the console. They also include optical sensors that allow them to function as a mouse in supported games and applications. A new "C" button on the controllers provides access to GameChat, a feature that lets players communicate with others, though it requires a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online.
With increased hardware power, the Switch 2 can run more demanding games than its predecessor. Some of the games available include the latest Resident Evil, Diablo IV, Cyberpunk 2077, Mario Kart World, Kirby Air Riders, and Donkey Kong Bananza. The upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will also be released on the console. Additionally, the Switch 2 remains compatible with most previous Switch games, some of which have been updated with improved graphics and smoother performance, either for free or with a purchase.
The docking station has been enhanced with a ventilation system to help manage heat during extended gaming sessions on a television, ensuring better performance and longevity of the console.
