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

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

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 .

everything that is played by Nintendo with the Switch 2

There are only a few hours left for the official announcement of all the characteristics of the New Switch 2or at least enough to get the idea of ​​what exactly expect from this hybrid console, improved version of the one that has been taking sales lists from all over the world for eight years. We have asked ourselves unansweredalthough one of them is impossible for us to see it answered: what happens if Switch 2 does not work as a Nintendo waiting? Do you have any emergency plan? Insured success … right? How wasn’t a switch 2 to work? More than 150 million units sold, more than 100,000 million dollars entered by Nintendo guarantee safe success. But Nintendo has some bad experiences with the second parts of his hardware. Of course, this happened with that disaster without palliative that was Wii U, which only sold 14 million consoles compared to 101 of its predecessor. Less loud were the figures of the 3DS, with 76 million, but that pale in front of its precedent: the DS sold approximately double, more than 150 million. And an extra dictation. While Wii U sank, there was a 3Ds that kept the guy. And while Gamecube (the second greatest failure in the history of Nintendo) made Nintendo think that perhaps compete with Sony and Microsoft was not quite a good idea, Game Boy Color continued with relative dignity the success of the most important laptop of all time. Nintendo has always had a plan B or a laptop that served as a mattress of possible collapses. But the hybrid condition of the Switch It makes it the portable option and, at the same time, of Nintendo desktop. And there is no more. Video games, the only sector. Let us also keep in mind that Nintendo is a company delivered exclusively to video games, which undoubtedly gives huge joys to the players (their video game catalog is, well, a catalog of video games; not everyone can boast that), but puts the company on the tightrope. It is obvious that if Microsoft can afford deficit experimentsfirefighter ideas and Buy Lost Business Companies It is because Microsoft is not just Xbox. That doesn’t happen to Nintendo. Reasons to be conservative. Before we know anything about Switch 2, a criticism surveys the launch of this new console: the total immobility about its precedent. Very little power improvement, so it is rumored; some improvement in the control support system; Some sensors that allow joycons to use as mice and whose utility will be allegedly very limited; And now. But it makes sense: Nintendo cannot afford an error because, since the launch of Switch, almost all of the company’s revenue come from the sales of the console, and a failure would disrupt the complete economy of Nintendo. But … Is it counterproductive to go from conservative? When you don’t innovate enough. Nintendo has the tendency to grab a success and not release it until he squeezes it. For example, with the topic prices: good luck if you want to buy a ‘Mario Kart’ when Nintendo decides to apply a discount. That can ever happen, or at least years after the launch, when the next installment arrives (sometimes not yet). They are the type of maneuvers that, of course, give abundant benefits when they work, but that magnify Nintendo’s image of being a rigid company and with little waist to react to financial setbacks. It is what has a single letter play … and that single letter is now switch 2. Header | Nintendo In Xataka | The great enemy of the Nintendo Switch 2 are not the Sony or Microsoft consoles. It is the PC

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.

Nintendo had a program to get discounts on his games. Have decided to say enough

It was one of the best and most followed Switch functions, and one that decidedly placed it ahead of other rival platforms. But as of March, it closes this system that allowed us to use the gold points that were won when buying digital software at the ESHOP or through download codes, and that allowed to obtain discounts on future purchases. Nintendo He has officially announced that will withdraw them on March 25, 2025 Since 2016. More than eight years ago, Nintendo’s rewards system had caused thousands of players to benefit from the points that were obtained by spending on the ESHOP. The possible benefits in the Nintendo digital store were divided into two: platinum points (they were obtained when playing mobile games such as’Super Mario Run‘or’ Fire Emblem Heroes’ and complete missions related to the My Nintendo service) and gold points (as we commented, are achieved with digital points). The latter are the ones that will disappear. They can still be used. The good part is that the points can continue to be used until they expire and past on March 25. The points have a validity of 12 months from the moment they were achieved, and if physical copies of games acquired before March 25 are recorded, the points will be obtained equally. Similarly, any anticipated order made before the deadline also generates gold points, although the game is officially launched later. In this way, players who reserve titles can still benefit from this system. Possible reasons. Nintendo has not specified the reasons for this decision, but in all likelihood it is linked to the launch of Nintendo Switch 2scheduled for this year, and of which more details will be known a week after the discontinuation of the gold points. Nintendo has already declared its intentions to maintain its virtual store system with the same characteristics as the current Eshop, so maybe Switch 2 be matched a new type of currency or set a substitute system of the gold points. 5% very juicy. The discount that was obtained thanks to the gold points was 5%: that amount could be deducted from future digital purchases (and 1% in physical purchases), which is not a crazy amount, but very useful if you frequent The indie of the store, where there are usually releases between 3 and 5 euros. It was a great way to access and even try free economic games. We will always have the others. The Gold Points system is not the only discounts for points of the console panorama (another reason to think that Nintendo is not eliminating, but only adapting it to Switch 2). In PlayStation is the system PlayStation Stars And in Xbox, the Microsoft Rewards. There are, however, significant differences: Sony’s case is the most recent, the awards are achieved by making very variable complexity missions in the titles of the console catalog. The points can be redeemed by digital collectibles. In the case of Microsoft, they are also achieved with missions and games, and can be exchanged for varied awards, even Game Pass subscriptions.

Two Nintendo Switch 2 games leaked for 2025

It is clear that The Nintendo Switch 2 will be released in 2025tentatively for April, when the company offers its event NintendoDirect and that will be dedicated to the new generation of Kyotos.

In principle, they had already mentioned: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Pokémon ZA Legends, the new Mario Kart and Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. Two new games that could arrive with the Nintendo Switch 2 The most striking thing is that they are two old acquaintances, which creates expectations regarding the possibility of a remake. The first consists of a new Mario Bros in 3Dapparently a platform classic, and the second is nothing more and nothing less than The Legend of Zelda. Although the Nintendo developers have not made this information official, it is not unreasonable taking into account that the new console will have to make a strong presence in the video game market.

After Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda is Nintendo’s most iconic saga.Credit: Oleg Elkov | Shutterstock It should be noted that Nintendo Switch will probably not be launched in April, but rather it will be an event to announce official details, such as the exact launch date, confirmed games and of course, the price of the console.

Nintendo already confirmed that service subscribers Nintendo Switch Online They will be able to continue enjoying it on the new console.
