Nintendo just wrapped up itslong-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and the experience was almost surreal.
How powerful is the Switch 2?
you might also use it to connect to the new Switch 2 Camera.
(Oh yes, Nintendo will now sell you a camera for your Switch 2.)
It’s noise cancelling, which should help when using it in loud environments.
(If a monster roars behind you, you’ll hear it “behind” you.)
Switch 2 comes with 256GB of internal storage, with options for expansion via microSD Express cards.
The dock also has a built-in fan to keep the console cool when outputting at the higher resolution.
The Joy-Cons can do more
The Switch 2’s Joy-Cons are pretty different from the OG controllers.
These things are larger and more rounded, which I imagine will make gameplay more comfortable.
They also look different: The updated Joy-Cons are almost entirely black, save for some colorful accents.
Instead, their pair magnetically.
Nintendo says the magnets are strong enough to not break off with force.
Perhaps the biggest change to the Switch 2’s controllers is thatthey support mouse mode.
You’ll also notice a player number indicator along the top of the controller.
While they’re the same size and shape, the new carts are red, not black.
They also read faster.
When does Nintendo Switch 2 launch?
The new console launches June 5 of this year.
