NINTENDO SWITCH 2
2 much heaven
The most potent Nintendo console to date is also the most expensive, but there’s a lot more going on inside the Switch 2 than just faster hardware

That Nintendo was in no hurry to replace its hybrid handheld is hardly a shocker. The original Switch transformed the gaming landscape and went on to be one of the best-selling consoles of all time. But for those of us running out of patience with games that evidently needed a bit more juice, an update couldn’t come soon enough.
On first inspection, an update seems to be just what Nintendo has delivered. The Switch 2 is still a touchscreen tablet that’ll play console-quality games on a TV while docked; you can then take it on the go as a handheld or detach the Joy-Cons to play in tabletop mode.
