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.
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.
