The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here, and Verge staffers have spent quality time playing with it. The new console boasts several improvements, including a larger 7.9-inch screen and an extra USB-C port. To play, you’ll find a variety of games, including the highly-anticipated Mario Kart update.
Our initial impressions: what we love and what we don’t
We’ve put the Switch 2 through its paces, and here’s our take on its strengths and weaknesses. The new console’s bigger screen is a game-changer, offering more real estate for games and a smoother user experience. However, it can’t match the brightness and color quality of some competing devices.
A welcome addition to the library
The Switch 2’s launch lineup includes updates to popular original Switch games, with some titles receiving free upgrades while others are paid. This is a significant improvement over the original hardware, which often struggled to handle demanding games.
While these updates are a step in the right direction, it raises questions about why Nintendo didn’t address these issues sooner. The Switch 2’s enhancements are welcome, but they’re also long overdue.
