Console release now imminent - Console launch has finally arrived.
The wait is finally over, gamers! Japanese gaming titan Nintendo has unleashed the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2, clamored by millions since its announcement. But is the hype justified?
Perfect Perfidy: The 500-Euro Mark Crumbles Swiftly
The Nintendo Switch 2 is yours for €469.99. The package comprises the device, power adapter, docking station, HDMI cable, USB-C charging cable, two "Joy-Con 2" controllers, a holder, wrist straps, and your ticket to "Mario Kart World" for an additional €40. Expect to part with €509.99 for the bundle. The game itself costs €89.99 in physical form or €79.99 digitally for solo enthusiasts.
Alert collectors: The newest Switch 2 feature, "Software Lock Cards," holds only part of the game data. According to reports from "GameRant," Nintendo has no plans of using these cards for their own titles.
With the hybrid console still rocking your TV, brave the vibrant 7.9-inch LCD display which delivers games in 1080p resolution during handheld mode. Frames per second soar up to 120, offering a substantial upgrade with HDR for more captivating color dynamics. Compared to the first Switch's 6.2-inch screen, this derails the race for brighter and better visuals.
Connect the Switch 2 to your TV, and games can immerse you in 4K resolution – if supported by the game and TV. Although scaling back to 60 frames per second, Nvidia estimates that the Switch 2 boasts ten times the graphics performance of its predecessor, making for a significant leap in gaming evolution. With an internal storage capacity of 256 gigabytes, there's plenty of room for your favorite pixelated adventures. Expand your storage up to two terabytes only with microSD Express cards.
The exact capabilities of the hardworking hardware remain to be seen as players delve into their new console experiences. Credible sources, such as "The Games Business," share that many journalists are only just receiving review copies prior to the official release, with some even delayed until the big day. Nintendo has explained a necessary comprehensive patch on launch day to expedite thorough testing and reviews.
Race-Ready from the Start
The Switch 2 marks the launch of just one new in-house title: "Mario Kart World." Its predecessor, "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe," has already inched past 68 million copies on the Switch. The racing game introduces two groundbreaking innovations: 24 drivers on the track, and exploration options off the racetrack for added excitement. "The Guardian" boasts that the title is "familiar, incredibly polished, plays flawlessly no matter how chaotic the environment, and looks fantastic."
The Switch 2 unveils a "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" for popular adventure hits "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom." Nintendo showcases the console's capabilities in their interactive exhibition, the "Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour."
Several eagerly anticipated titles, such as "Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition," "Split Fiction," and "Fortnite," will be available right at the Switch 2's debut. Battle-ready players can look forward to games like "Street Fighter 6," "Hogwarts Legacy," and "Rune Factory" within the first week. Compatibility with Switch 1 games ensures currently owned titles don't get left behind in the excitement.
