Nintendo Switch™ 2 System

I love the Swtich 2. It is an amazing console/handheld hybrid. It is Nintendo's best work imo. The graphics for the price is amazing. Not quite PS5/Series X quality but it does the job and the games run smooth. I would recommend this to people who are not so picky with graphics and love the switch, joycons, and nintendo first party titles. Also, the Joycon 2 have a mouse mode which enables you to have the precision of a mouse for aiming and the freedom of movement of a control stick for moving the character with the other Joycon 2. Best of both worlds. And perfect balance between Mouse and Controller. Kids would love this console/handheld hybrid with the wide variety of kid friendly games like Mario Kart, Zelda, Metroid, and Fortnite. But also adults would love Cyberpunk 2077 and the 450$ price point is great compared to the 600 to 700 dollar competition. It might not be as flashy as a PC but costs less than half the price of a decent PC. And you still get Ray Tracing in games like CyberPunk 2077. Transition from Docked to Handheld or Tabletop modes is instantaneous. If you previously had gotten a Switch and still have it you can set the two next to each other and share data and games between the two. Virtual game cards is like having a physical copy minus being able to trade it in or sell it. So you can only use that game on one console at a time. If you go to a different console then you have to "eject" the virtual game card and "put it in" the other console. Which is the only flaw in my opinion. Hogwarts Legacy has a mouse mode that is dynamic so you can switch on the fly without going into menus. Right to the control stick. The Joycons are MUCH bigger this time around. And they are much more enjoyable to use. Please do not forget the Joycon 2 attachments for the mouse mode as I scratched the side of the controller by not doing that immediately. Plus they have straps so you don't accidentally throw them. Nintendo Online expansion pack is 50 dollars for a year which is significantly less than say PS plus Premium which also includes classics for 150 dollars a year. The expansion pack includes classics from NES to SNES to N64 to Gamecube. And more GameCube games are going to be added in the future. Currently there are five with two versions each. My favorite amongst them is Soul Caliber II with Link. I loved that game as a child and I still love the game now. And instead of not learning from my mistakes and learning the move sets, I am much older now and can easily grasp the challenges. So I encourage everyone to try past titles to see how they have improved. lol. Plus they look great on a 4k tv. Zelda the wind waker is also available but I have yet to try that. Definitely calibrate your joycons motion controls if you are going to try them out or use them in any fashion. Handheld mode 1080p HDR 120hz screen is awesome btw.

Nintendo Switch 2 arrived at my door faster than my motivation to do chores disappeared. Opened the box ‘just to test it' and suddenly it was 3 AM and I'm eating cold pizza while getting destroyed by 12-year-olds online. Delivery was perfect though — even the box looked excited.
