This is a preview based on time spent with the Nintendo Switch 2 handheld over the course of the brand's Experience events and separate private sessions. My full review in progress will be available shortly, once I've got the device on my test bench. Preview hardware includes fixtures not present on release units, including a ring attachment at the top of the device to the rear. Screenshots are taken from captures recorded in 4K 60fps without HDR. A star rating will not be assigned until I have had sufficient time with the handheld in a full review capacity.
Nintendo has a tough task on its hands. The Nintendo Switch 2 picks up where the third-best-selling console of all time has left off. The original Switch took the world by storm, introducing a brand new hybrid way of play that helped it swallow up casual, hardcore, and even some competitive markets. This is the kind of innovative hardware that Nintendo is known for, and it’s damn hard to replicate.
