After price delaysThe Nintendo Switch 2 Preorders finally open in the United States – And as expected, it seems that the first wave broke quickly. Given this unexpected expectation, and now to see the new game console currently exhausted, it is understandable that your thumbs become nervous for pre -orders to open.
That said, after playing on the Switch 2 recently at an event, can I help you relieve your FOMO somewhat saying that you are probably ok in the meantime?
I felt like that after my Switch 2 experience of a day, and I will repeat it now: as well as upgrades of Switch 2, and as fun as the new Mario Kart And the Donkey Kong games seem to be – and the Gamecube game library It also seems to be an explosion of retro pleasure – the Switch 2 is an iterative upgrade for the moment. The best games in Switch 2, and its most unique exclusives, are probably still to come.
Nintendo clearly designed the Switch 2, at least for the moment, to exist as a bridge to the current switch, with many future games intended to operate also on the original switch. Much more than the beginnings of the first switch, the Switch 2 is designed to be a system that you can expect to upgrade. In this sense, it follows the path of the current generation of Xbox Series X and S And PlayStation 5 consoles.
You can build your Switch library now and be switching 2 when you eventually upgrade
The Switch 2 plays all the Switch games, which was not the case with the previous switch and equipment. This means that you can ignore the Switch 2 now if you need it, play games on the switch, then move your library each time. The switching versions 2 of the games cost more (ranging from $ 10 to $ more $ 20), but you can simply buy the upgrades of the game Switch 2 later at a similar price – or play the versions that you have already obtained less graphics and improved game extras.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild looks good on Switch 2, but also, it’s always great about the switch.
The current upgrades of Switch 2 are good, but not shocking
After having played a little with several of the Switch 2 Edition versions of Switch Games, I noticed a better frequency of images and a better graphic resolution, but honestly, I did not find that it was so different. I would prefer to play improved switch 2 editions, but the experience reminded me a little PS5 PRO Versus ps5 versions of games when I played for the first time on the console with Sony Last year.
If you have a big television, you will probably appreciate the difference. The larger Switch 2 screen posters higher 1080p games with HDR, but you can play on the old switch and go well. I play on a OLED switch Again, and after the Switch 2 experience, I have no huge i-wish-this-we-a-switch-2-Erny.
I am sure that it will change as the games will be developed to better take advantage of the NVIDIa amplified switching 2 switching GPU, and when more exclusives arrive. This is similar to what I felt for the Meta quest 3Who has better graphics than Quest 2 but did not look like an essential absolute for a year after its release.
Metroid Prime 4 also arrives at the original switch.
You can still play the next Nintendo games on OG Switch
While Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza are exclusives of Switch 2, Metroid Prime 4 Beyond and Pokemon Legends Za also play on the switch. We do not know how these games will play on the switch against Switch 2, but you can get a good dose new Nindendo this year on the old equipment and upgrade the upgrade of equipment later. Consider it a bit of an Fomo stamp.
Looking at the history of Nintendo’s game, the company has often supported its previous consoles for a few good years after the release of the new equipment. I expected that after 2026, the Switch 2 will start to become the essential platform for the biggest game, but I would not be surprised to see a handful of Nintendo key games by always taking charge of the original switch for another year at least.
You can use the 2 Joy-Cons switch as mice, which is cool, but we are also curious to see how many games take care of this mode.
There is no `any new experience ”, apart from the game cat, this camera and the mouse
The original switch was a revelation of the eyes because it was a portable and complete game console that could dock with your TV and turn into a console shareable with modular controllers. It was different from everything Nintendo had done before. Switch 2 is above all the same proposal, just more pleasant.
You will not feel the same regret of having missed a whole new way of playing this time, because it is a continuation of the same idea. There are two new features that you could envy: audio cat or video games with friends and new joy-cols working as mice in certain supported games. But the playing cat only works with other owners of Switch 2 and needs a Switch subscription online. The mouse functions are sometimes fun, but can also end up like a gadget. For the moment, the Switch 2 has not removed so many new wild functions from its hat, but that could change, knowing Nintendo. There are also festive game modes connected to the fun camera for Mario Party Jamboree if you connect a camera, but no other game has new features based on the camera yet.
It’s good to wait, but the prices are always a question mark
I say it well before I had the chance to see the Switch 2 again, and that is sure, it looks like the best Nintendo console for a long time and the trouble to be upgraded. But comfort him that missing this time this time is not a big problem in 2017, even if you feel the attraction of the regret.
The only joker remains the question of the effect price will be on the future pricing of the console. Will it fluctuate? I hope not, but the prices of the Nintendo Switch 2 accessories have already increased following the chaotic tariff policies of Trump, and it is not clear if it could happen again. The state of prices and consumer electronics is still in an unknown area, but in the meantime, you can always have fun on the switch you already have, now and even in the near future.
