After the latest Nintendo Direct, we know an awful lot about the Switch 2, from its surprisingly beefy specs to the equally surprising prices of some first-party games. Unexpected features like built-in voice chat and game sharing were revealed, all making the console a lot more exciting (except for the price thing). But with all that, some of my favorite parts of the Switch 2 are a couple of objectively more boring points Nintendo only revealed afterward.
Two of my biggest daily frustrations with the original Switch — and I know I’m not alone here — are its lackluster screenshot sharing features and the near-uselessness of the eShop. Neither are headline-making features and neither makes the Switch experience so bad I’m tempted to stop using it, but both could benefit from small fixes that would make the Switch altogether more pleasant to use. Fortunately, Nintendo is aiming to improve both with the Switch 2.
