Like a PC exhaust fan put through the wringer, I am ready to whine. The Nintendo Switch 2 is out at last, and while it sadly hasn't made the world a better place overnight – granted, what could meet that tall order apart from perhaps a large asteroid – it is a rock-solid little console. It's like a Switch, but it has a 2 on it and it's way more expensive. How do those folks at the house of Mario think of this stuff?
To put it mildly, the Switch 2 is a better version of everything the Switch was. Stronger hardware, improved frame rates, and surprisingly good Joy-Con-enabled mouse controls make it a more comfortable third-party destination and could enable ambitious new Nintendo experiences. I say could because I am still waiting on those experiences. To put it less mildly, the Switch 2 is a lovely little console with absolutely zero games that I care about enough to drop $500.
