Nintendo Switch 2: The final preview

The Switch 2’s screen is significantly larger at 7.9 inches across (up from 6.2 inches ), while also having a higher resolution.

The Joy -Con, while retaining a familiar shape, have also basically been redesigned from the ground up.

Nintendo says it's using a new setup inside that should be significantly more robust, but only time and lots of mashing on those analog sticks will tell us for sure.

There's also a new C button for Nintendo 's Game Chat feature.

Mario Kart World is everything you want from a new installment in one of Nintendo 's most iconic franchises and then some.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a great way to learn about the console's capabilities.

It's not nearly as fun or endearing as Astro 's Playroom was for the PS5 and I would say it's only a must-buy for the most die-hard Nintendo completionists.

The Switch 2 is backwards compatible with games designed for the Switch 1.

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack ($ 50 ) is a great way to get more games on the Switch 2 .

Nintendo 's Game Chat features include a dedicated chat button, voice-only mode and speech-to-speech features.
