Nintendo Switch 2 Review: Exactly the Upgrade We Needed, with a Few Catches
- Nintendo released the Nintendo Switch 2 as a hybrid handheld and home console on June 5, 2025, priced at $449.99 in the US market.
- The Switch 2 follows the original 2017 Switch’s legacy by refining existing features rather than innovating radically, which led to some debate about its value and price increase.
- It features a larger 7.9-inch 1080p LCD display with HDR10 and VRR support, Nvidia GPU with DLSS, 256GB storage, GameChat voice and video chat, backward compatibility, and upgrades for older games with a small fee.
- The console supports 120fps, 4K output when docked, and runs demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly, showing improved horsepower despite battery life concerns and some viewed UI and design as safe but effective.
- While the Switch 2’s launch lineup is limited with Mario Kart World as the main exclusive, early impressions suggest it is a worthy successor that satisfies many Nintendo fans and positions the company for future game releases.
