Nintendo raised the bar significantly with the highly successful Switch 1, selling over 143 million units worldwide by 2024. Consequently, there were high expectations for their next move, and thankfully, the new console lived up to the hype. Unlike its predecessor, which took a significant risk, the Switch 2 opted for a more conservative approach. It introduces some novel features in Joy-Con technology, but essentially, it’s an enhanced version of the original Switch—a more potent system, advanced technology, a refined design, yet maintaining the same aesthetic. Additionally, Nintendo ensured that a diverse lineup of launch games would be available, featuring titles like Mario Kart World, Cyberpunk 2077, and Tears of the Kingdom, among others.
