Four hours with Nintendo Switch 2, getting to grips with both the hardware and its biggest games, is all I needed to convince me that Nintendo is really onto something with this second generation. This isn't just a refresh, but an evolution of the winning ideas the publisher introduced with the original home console/handheld hybrid.
I'll also be the first to admit that, when watching the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, detailed though it was, I was a little nervous. Fresh off the likes of the PS5 Pro, to me there was the very real chance that this newest iteration would end up feeling like a late to the party 'Pro' style machine, more of a Switch 1.5 than a true successor. After all, this is the only time Nintendo has slapped an actual '2' on the end of a console, with only the likes of the Wii U and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System coming close.
