It was not too long ago that the Nintendo Switch 2 was released, and gamers all over the world had mixed opinions about it. Although if I were to tell you my own experience, I’ve had it for a while now, and I actually like the handheld console. I believe it is much better than its predecessor.
However, there’s one tip I can give you, though.
The gaming experience on the Switch 2 for multiplayer games in handheld mode is less than ideal. While you need to make sure that you connect it to a reliable internet service to make the most out of your online gaming sessions, I recommend going a step further and playing using a wired connection.
I personally use a fiber internet connection from Hawaiian Telcom, so a wired connection at Gigabit speeds is a match made in heaven for gamers like me.
Now, I’ll tell you some of the reasons why you should get a Nintendo Switch 2 for yourself. Who knows, maybe by the end of the article, you will want to buy one for yourself, too? Let’s dive in!
It Offers a Better Display
As compared to the first Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 offers a better display.
It has a relatively bigger and brighter screen, giving you a crisp image quality as you enjoy playing all your favorite games. On the previous switch, the brightness was good, but it wasn’t as good as this one.
So, if you want an upgraded version of the Switch in terms of the display, then you should definitely get the Switch 2 for yourself. It also goes in line with the better graphics processing. I’ll get to that in the section ahead.
Enhanced Graphics and Performance
The Switch 2 has leaped miles ahead with the upgrade to its graphics hardware.
It offers even smoother frame rates, which makes gameplay feel as smooth as butter. Not just that, but it also gives sharper visuals, which make every game a treat to play. This helped the Switch 2 take the lead, as compared to the original Switch.
Not only is the Switch 2 better in terms of graphics, but it is also better from a performance point of view.
This helps in faster load times (just like the PlayStation 5 compared to the PlayStation 4), and the seamless transitions and quicker load times make every game appealing to play. If you want the best graphical output from the console, you should dock it and connect it to a 4K display so you can experience the limits to which the Switch 2 can go.
It Gives You More Storage
Whenever I get a console for myself, the first thing I do is look at the storage capacity, so that I know how many games I can store in the console at a time. I was actually glad to see that the Switch 2 offers an ample amount of storage, 256GB to be more specific.
This is eight times the storage capacity of the original Switch – you can see why it is a great idea to upgrade to the Switch 2.
Not only does this allow you to store more games in your console, but it also allows you to store more saved data and keep your saved files intact, without having to delete them to clear up more storage.
It Features an Improved Dock
I won’t lie, the original Switch already had a pretty impressive dock.
It gave me the perfect opportunity to enjoy my favorite games with my friends on a bigger screen whenever they were visiting. I was stoked to find out that the Switch 2 has a better dock, which supports 4K at 60 Hz.
Not only that, but the dock also features HDR, which further enhances your display options, giving you the most you can get with the console.
Previously, I saw that the original Switch’s dock had a heating problem, so the new dock with the Switch 2 comes with a built-in cooling fan to prevent that issue, giving you the ultimate docking experience.
Larger Joy-Cons
As a guy who has freakishly long fingers, I had a hard time trying to adjust my hands on the original Switch. It took me a long time to get used to the shape and the ergonomics of the Joy-Cons. However, it seemed as if Nintendo somehow already knew I was facing this problem, and they heard my cries.
They finally increased the size of the Joy-Cons on the Switch 2!
This made long gaming sessions a lot more comfortable, and another thing that I loved about the Joy-Cons is that they come with magnets now, which makes attachment and detachment a lot easier and quicker.
These were some of the things that I loved about the Switch 2, and I have reason to believe that you should get one for yourself too, you’ll definitely have the time of your life!
