What to expect from the Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo has a history of innovation, with each new console release often showcasing a unique feature, such as a new control scheme or display function, that shapes the gameplay of its first-party titles.
However, the company is taking a more conservative approach with its latest console — this is the first time in Nintendo's history that it’s used a numerical sequel naming convention for one of its consoles, signalling that the Switch 2 will be an upgraded version of the original Switch, rather than a dramatic reimagining.
And we’re totally cool with that! The first Switch’s graphical capabilities have been outdated since, well, launch, and it's great to finally play a new Nintendo console that doesn’t feel like it’s stuck in the past.
The Switch 2 has a redesigned dock, larger display, magnetic Joy-Con controllers and a black, blue and orange colour scheme. Additionally, the updated Joy-Cons now include an optical sensor for mouse-style controls. In terms of Switch 2's specs, the console has an LCD display that's capable of HDR and 120Hz in handheld mode. In docked mode, the Switch 2 will output at 4K resolution.
