by

We have finally known more details about the Nintendo Switch 2the next Nintendo console that has been presented not without its particular controversies that will give much to talk about for months. Therefore, in this article we wanted to gather and comment what are the main differences between the new and current generation of Nintendo Switch. Is it worth making the leap as soon as it is launched? How much do video games cost? We explain it in the following lines. It is worth mentioning that certain details we will not explain them Because they have not yet been confirmed or there are some gaps that Nintendo must clarify. Such as details about the so -called “Game key cards“Or, although we partially know them, the Technical Hardware Specificationsas is the case of the processor. The same goes for the Retrocompatibilitythere are still some unknowns that should be clarified.

Nintendo Switch 2 comes with a LCD panelbut … is it really a panel similar to that of Nintendo Switch? The truth is that no. The Nintendo Switch is available with the LCD panel that we could see after the launch of version V2 (it is also the one that carried the original console), in addition to the corresponding OLED version that is the last one that has been marketed. On the other hand, for the moment the Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive with an LCD panel without the possibility of choosing any OLED model. Offers greater diagonal (7.99 inches compared to 6.2 of the switch and 7 of the OLED), a refreshment rate of 120 Hz and compatibility with the image format HDR. It is a LCD panel, but everything adds, and these technologies or specifications get it better. New joy-with new functions Joy-magnetic with the new “C” button of access to Gamechat. A generational change implies, or has at least involved in most cases, that the controls suffer certain changes to add improvements. The joy-with 2 will not only have the Magnetic grip that we could see in the announcement of the console, but they will also have a mouse function (They can literally be used as if they were a mouse for certain games). They have also suffered certain improvements that users already demanded with the Nintendo Switch: SR and SL buttons They have grown in size to be more comfortable to play when using the Joy-Con separately and the Joystick have also grown slightly. Nintendo Switch Online Add more functions Next to the console, a good assortment of accessories was announced. Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) It is the payment subscription that we already find with the Nintendo Switch. In this first console at the beginning you could play in online multiplayer and then some functions such as having access to expansions or content of some video games, access to exclusive offers or devices and access to demonstrations of some games, among others, were arriving. With the Nintendo Switch 2 they will arrive even more functions. Among them, we will have access to the improvements of some video games released in Nintendo Switch totally free, but one of the inherent functions of the console, Gamechat, is paid: We can only use it if we have an active subscription. And much eye because it is not an additional function of the console, it is a function of it. Power, graphic quality and performance Some Nintendo Switch video games will receive improvements for Nintendo Switch 2. Many years have passed since the Nintendo Switch was launched. During this time technology has taken giant steps, so the Nintendo Switch 2 will have A power and much greater performance than in the current generation. We cannot say much about the processor beyond that it is from Nvidia because nothing is known about it. What is evident is that the graphic quality of video games improves in Nintendo Switch 2. There is not only an increase in the resolution that can be squeezed from video games, but that the dock will allow the Recalado to 4K in certain compatible video games. Which … Read more

Nintendo Switch 2 is no longer a toy, it is the closest to the final hybrid console

by

Nintendo has presented the Switch 2a console that respects the original concept, but that is far from what it offered us The first generation. Nintendo has never cared that switch was a toy that moved games in 720p resolution: I knew I was going to sell the same. But 2025 is not a year to launch a poor power console, and photography has changed completely. Switch 2 is no longer a console whose specifications can be ridiculed. It is a laptop with desktop soul. But a real desktop. A heart of Nvidia. The original Nintendo Switch had a processor Tegra of Nvidiathe same as Nvidia Shield. This generation repeat processor manufacturer and, although they have not transcended technical details about it, it once again has a tegra. One capable of moving graphics of up to 1080 120 fps in the console, and 4k 60 fps in desktop mode. In other words, the switch finally has a decent resolution to compete with the best. First level consoles such as X and PS5 series support 120 fps but, being realistic, the catalog that supports this refreshment rate is minimal. 4k 60p is the standard, and switch finally meets it. A level catalog. ‘Star Wars: Outlaws’, ‘Cyberpunk’ or ‘The Duskblood’ are just some examples of a new era for switch. One in which the console that once was a toy can move triple. PS5 and Xbox One X. (It will be especially interesting to compare it with One S), but there is undoubtedly a key here: it is finally time to compare the switch with a desktop console. To this we must add both the retrocompatibility with Switch 1 games and the emulation capabilities to which Gamecube is now added. Triple A price, for games and console. 90 euros. It is the price that Mario Kart World ‘will have for Nintendo Switch 2. The rest of the games can wait for the 80 euros, 20 euros more than the classics 59.99 euros that we could buy games for the first generation. With a price of 469.99 euros without games, Switch competes directly in the league of the most top of the market. The key? Nintendo does not go directly for that market, he has his own, and now he has more arguments than ever to convince. For almost all. Buying Switch 1 was to launch a clear message: Import Nintendo, not the graphic quality. Nintendo Switch 2 ends completely with this, now becoming the hybrid par excellence to play some triple A deliveries (the initial catalog is and aims to remain reduced), but also to what Nintendo does remain Nintendo: its own titles. To play this type of deliveries in portable console the price is high: rivals as The Rog Ally X are going to 799 euros. More powerful, yes. Without switch versatility, too. Only time will determine the success of this new switch. What is clear is that Nintendo has understood that hardware and performance matter and, finally, we have that switch we deserved.

Nintendo Switch 2: The new Nintendo console is larger, more powerful and is willing to win the generation

by

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. Follow the presentation of the Nintendo Switch 2 live. 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. In development … Images | Nintendo (Function () {Window._js_modules = Window._js_modules || {}; var headelement = document.getelegsbytagname (‘head’) (0); if (_js_modules.instagram) {var instagramscript = Document.Createlement (‘script’); }}) (); – The news Nintendo Switch 2: The new Nintendo console is larger, more powerful and is willing to win the generation It was originally posted in Xataka by Jose García .

All the doubts and unknowns that Nintendo has to clear with its new console

by

Within 24 hours (less, in fact) we will have attended the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. The company He already gave us an advance of his design And he let us see some of his main characteristics, but he also left us with honey on his lips. The Japanese firm confirmed zero units of technical specifications and gave zero information units about the new controls, the new software, the performance, etc. These are all those unknowns pending clearing tomorrow. The power … It is no secret that Nintendo Switch is not the most powerful portable console (and that Nintendo has given the same). In fact, you have a processor Nvidia Tegra X1 of 20 nanometers with a decade behind them. That, however, has not avoided that the Nintendo Switch has conquered halfway and sold about 151 million units. For this generation, a quite important potency is expected courtesy of a NVIDIA TEGRA T239 Of five nanometers, according to leaks, but we will see. … And all the Specs, really. Because Nintendo did not let go of absolutely anything. We don’t know screen size (Although it is much larger than that of the original console, it should have about eight inches of diagonal), neither its resolution nor its refreshment rate. Nor do we know the ability of the battery, how much storage and RAM will have and, above all, the technologies used. A possible command-oraton? | Image: Nintendo The-RATON. One of the things that most caught attention in the presentation were the controls. We know that they will not have the same coupling mechanism and that they will connect to the console by USB type C, But a patent already very commented images In the trailer released a few weeks ago they suggest that we can also use them as a mouse. As? It is not known, but it is a function that would open enough possibilities in certain games of games. THE DOCK. We know that the new Nintendo Switch 2 will have a new rear stand with (apparently) ability to put the console at any angle and a new dock for TV mode. The current dock does not show the screen, but the new yes and remains to be seen if Nintendo will take advantage of it in some way. For example, showing a clock. It remains to be confirmed whether the dock of the previous generation will be compatible with the new one and, if so, if he wins or loses functions or graphic quality. THE NEW DOCK | Image: Nintendo The retrocompatibility. Speaking of functions, it is confirmed that Nintendo Switch games They will be retrocompatible with Nintendo Switch 2. We do not know if switch 2 cartridges will be like Switch, but we do know that current cartridges can be used in the new generation. It would also be interesting for Nintendo to approach if the current Joy-with can be used with the new console in some way. Now there is a “but“To take into account:” It is possible that some titles of Nintendo Switch are incompatible or not fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2 “. Those words of Nintendo open the door that not everyone works or that some do it bad Zelda ‘,’ Super Mario ‘,’ Animal Crossing ‘and company can be played in the new console without major difficulty. Image: Nintendo The accessories. Nintendo has an ecosystem of products compatible with Nintendo Switch, such as flyers or the ring of ‘Ring Fit‘. Everything indicates that these accessories will not be compatible with the Joy-Con of the Nintendo Switch 2 for a matter of space. For example, the new Joy-with do not seem to be able to fit the current flyers. There are, therefore, three options: That new accessories are launched (possibly accompanied by new games). That there are some type of adapter that allows them to use them. That is the reason why “some Nintendo Switch titles are incompatible or not fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2”. Mechanism of Coupling of the Joy-Con | Image: Nintendo The launch grill. And what is a console without games? For the trailer, everything points to a new ‘Mario Kart 8‘, but it is not known much more. It’s soon for a new ‘The Legend of Zelda‘, there are rumors of a new Mario 3D, but nothing solid. The retrocompatibility is important, but if the console wants to boast power, it will need some titles, even if they are few, to take advantage of it. And the price. The mother of the lamb is the price. The Nintendo Switch It was launched for 329.99 euros, the Lite model for 219.95 euros and the OLED model It rose to 349.99 euros. As we do not know the complete specifications it is difficult to make bets, but The leaks They suggest a price closer to 400 dollars than at 300. It would be, a priori, more affordable than PlayStation and Xbox Series X, how could it be otherwise, but we will come out of doubt in a few hours.
