The best thing I bought this year: The Nintendo Switch 2
"The Switch 2's core strength for me boils down to it being a better version of the original Switch. Its 7.9-inch 120Hz 1080P screen looks sharp - yes, an OLED display would have been nicer, but I'm not complaining - and its ability to output at up to 4K, or up to 120Hz at lower resolutions, is a welcome improvement."
"My most-played game is the original Switch title The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which runs at 4K and 60 frames per second if you get the Switch 2 edition for $10 (it's a free download if you have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription)."
"I specifically put off playing games from my backlog, including titles going back several years, until I could play them on a larger display in handheld mode, and I don't regret my decision. Putting dozens of hours into Octopath Traveler while chilling on the couch with the big-screen handheld was a heck of a lot of fun. Nintendo and third-party developers have also been pretty generous with releasing free demos of Nintendo Switch 2 titles, incl"
The Switch 2 refines the original Switch design with a 7.9-inch, 120Hz 1080p screen and support for up to 4K output or 120Hz at lower resolutions. It lacks an OLED panel but delivers sharper visuals and improved performance. Most original Switch games run on the system, and some titles have received free or paid patches to enable higher frame rates and resolutions. The Switch 2 edition of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom runs at 4K and 60fps for a $10 edition or as a free download with an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription. Nintendo Classics GameCube titles and free demos expand play options, and the larger handheld display enhances comfort for extended sessions and backlog play.
