"So we wanted to make sure that the name really reflected the idea that this is the latest Nintendo Switch, this is the latest standard, a new standard for what Nintendo Switch is."
"The Switch 2 is not a leap forward, as the original Switch was from the Wii U, but rather a product of iteration. It's a collection of ideas and designs, refined, to create a product that feels both familiar and improved from its predecessor."
"It's bigger. Nintendo has increased the handheld's size from the original 6.2-inch screen to a 7.9-inch LCD display, and magnetized its Joy-Con controllers, which are also slightly longer to accommodate the change."
"The experience of playing on the Switch 2 is much the same as the original system's handheld mode, providing comfort and ease of use for long gaming sessions."
The developers of Nintendo's Switch 2 spent years brainstorming names before settling on 'Switch 2'. They considered 'Super Nintendo Switch' but aimed for a name reflecting continuity and evolution instead. Unlike its predecessor, the Switch 2 is an iterative design that enhances familiar features. The screen size has grown to 7.9 inches, and the new magnetized Joy-Con controllers are slightly larger. Early impressions from hands-on experiences indicate that the Switch 2 maintains comfort while providing noticeable improvements in gameplay, especially when using the handheld mode.
