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.

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.

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

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.
