After more than eight months with the Nintendo Switch 2, I still can’t get over this one performance upgrade — and it's got nothing to do with visuals or framerate

The Nintendo Switch 2 launched back in June 2025, meaning it’s more than eight months old now. And sure, as much as I’d like to see a few more first party titles on the horizon, I’ve had an absolute blast with my system so far. What can I say, releases like Mario Kart World, Kirby Air Riders and Donkey Kong Bananza have just kept me coming back for more.

But it’s not all about the games. I’ve also been loving a lot of the hardware upgrades over the original Switch, be that the larger 7.9-inch screen, 4K capabilities, or improved Joy-Con controllers. However, these changes are known to just about every gamer, and have been placed front and center of marketing for the Nintendo Switch 2.
