Tech's biggest winners of 2025
"Aside from a big bump in battery life that many were hoping for, Nintendo took just about everything that made its last console such a phenomenon and upgraded it on the Switch 2. A sleeker design with magnetic Joy-Cons that are less likely to break, a larger (albeit LCD) 1080p display with HDR, much stronger performance, mouse controls and a boost to the base storage were all very welcome."
"Of course, the vast majority of Switch games run on the Switch 2 (often with visual improvements or other upgrades), so the new console had a vast library right from the jump. Nintendo is building out its slate of first-party games with treats like Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4, and the third-party support is seriously impressive too. The Switch 2 is an iteration, not a revolution, but Nintendo didn't need to reinvent the wheel to make another great system."
Nintendo's Switch 2 introduces hardware refinements including increased battery life, a sleeker chassis, magnetic Joy‑Cons designed to reduce breakage, a larger 1080p LCD display with HDR, improved performance, mouse controls, and expanded base storage. Most existing Switch titles run on the new system, often with visual or other enhancements, providing a substantial launch library. First‑party additions such as Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4 expand the lineup, while strong third‑party support includes Cyberpunk 2077, Street Fighter 6 and Hitman: World of Assassination, with Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and The Duskbloods forthcoming. Critical scores are high and sales projections rose to 19 million units.
