It has taken, but it is finally here. Nintendo has just announced its new console, the Nintendo Switch 2, a device that evolves the portable concept that the original Nintendo Switch became fashionable. The console is larger, more powerful and, in some way, continuous, something that makes sense taking into account the more than 150 million units that sold its predecessor.
More and better screen. The new Switch 2 retains the thickness of the previous model, 13.9 millimeters, but the screen size increases to 7.99 inches. This panel is LCD, but its resolution has risen to FullHD (the double), the refreshment rate reaches 120 Hz and admits HDR. It is, without a doubt, a remarkable improvement.
New Joy-Con 2. The joy-with have been renewed and are the ones that provide the color note to the console. These controls are magnetically coupled to the console thanks to “some powerful magnets” and are extracted by pressing a top button. The SR and SL buttons are larger, something that should improve the experience when using the joy-with separately or sharing them.
Mouse mode. This rumored way that Nintendo has not spoken too much is confirmed. The Joy-Con 2, both, can be used as a mouse for certain compatible games, but the Japanese company has not given many details about it. It will be to wait to see how Nintendo takes advantage, but one of the soups shown is a wheelchair basketball game whose characters we move by sliding the joy-with on the table.
The C. button It is located in the Joy-Con right, the orange, and serves for Gamechat. With this function we can communicate with the friends with whom we are playing. The console has an integrated microphone in the upper area and, according to Nintendo, captures the voice even from afar. This function will require Nintendo Switch online.
We can also share the screen in the purest discord style and talk to our contacts even if we are playing different titles. It is, for all purposes, a kind of chat room as discord integrated in the console that, in addition, can be connected to a webcam (sold apart) so that our friends can see us and that will be integrated into the games.
The support and the dock. The rear support is larger and, unlike the original switch, you can move at pleasure and place in any position. As for the dock, it is much more powerful. Not only has a new design, but it admits output in 4K resolution (up to 60 fps) and HDR compatibility. In that sense, something interesting is that Nintendo has implemented a fan in his own whose objective is none other than keeping the temperature at bay.
The guts. At the time these lines are written, Nintendo has not talked about the engine of its console, but it is obvious that it improves in terms of power is there. Proof of this are the new open worlds such as ‘Cyberpunk 2077’, ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ or ‘Borderlands 4’, and the graphics seen in the trailer, as well as the improved versions of certain games with a better refreshment rate and graphic quality (improvements that, by the way, come in a package that is sold separately).
What we do know for sure is that it has 256 GB of internal storage, and not 32 GB, and that it will be compatible with MicroSD Express cards. That means the microSD cards that Nintendo Switch uses will not be compatible.
The new cartridges. They are red instead of blacks and exactly the same in size and dimensions than those of Nintendo Switch, but their data reading speed is much larger. It is also confirmed the retrocompatibility practically total with the games of the previous generation.
