The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally arrived after an eight-year wait, and we're breaking down everything about Nintendo's newest console. Mike managed to secure a pre-order at a GameStop location that wasn't on most people's radar, giving us the chance to experience this highly anticipated system first-hand.
• First impressions reveal a noticeably larger screen compared to the original Switch, with the same slim profile
• The magnetic Joy-Con controllers slide on smoothly and feel sturdier than the original controllers
• Screen resolution is 1080p in handheld mode with 4K support when docked
• UI feels smoother and faster than the original Switch with improved accessibility options
• The Pro Controller has a comfortable feel similar to an Xbox controller but lighter
• Initial game experience with Mario Kart shows impressive track sizes with multiple pathways
• System has sold 3.5 million units in its first four days, exceeding PlayStation 5's launch numbers
• Upcoming games include Donkey Kong Bonanza, Metroid Prime 4, and third-party titles
• Some GameStop locations had issues with employees accidentally damaging consoles by stapling receipts to boxes
• Battery life held up well during testing with no overheating issues after several hours of play
We'll continue testing the Switch 2 and give more detailed impressions in our future podcasts as we try out more games and features.
