The Nintendo Switch 2 has landed. Eight years after the original console came out, Nintendo’s hybrid machine has finally received an overdue glow-up. There’s a new display, a fresh pair of Joy-Con 2 controllers, faster internals for better graphics and speed and a redesigned dock that doesn’t just look like a toaster. On paper, it all sounds like a big step up. But is it?
That’s what we’ve been trying to figure out over the past 48 hours. Last year, the original Nintendo Switch was crowned the third-best-selling console of all time, overtaking the PlayStation 4 and landing just behind the PS2 and Nintendo DS, with more than 150 million units sold worldwide. The follow-up has a lot to live up to.
