Nintendo Switch is one of the most successful consoles of all time in the video game sector, which is why the Japanese company has been preparing for years to find the correct formula that allows users to continue enjoying an attractive system and continue with that success trail that has marked the hybrid console. Therefore, instead of seeking experiments and new sensations, Kyoto decided to embrace a more traditional model, with a direct sequel to the machine that brings the feeling of being a great improvement and evolution compared to Nintendo Switch.

This is how Nintendo Switch 2 was born, which is already available in markets around the world to offer new emotions to all those users who launch into its purchase. On this occasion, Nintendo has bet on improving those aspects that didn't quite work in the previous system to build the definitive version of this hybrid system, but maintaining its base so that it feels like a familiar console and prepared for the next decade being a protagonist in the video game sector. The Switch brand has consolidated itself as one of the most powerful in the industry, which is why its continuity is vital to continue generating great successes through the brand's most powerful sagas.

In this sense, Nintendo Switch 2 launches on the market as a more robust, powerful console with additions that can represent a change in the gaming model to impress players and that can get the maximum performance from all the games that launch on the machine. Something that, together with the backward compatibility of the system with the previous console, generates sufficient arguments to make the leap to Nintendo's new generation.

More power and premium character design to triumph

There is no doubt that, over the years, Nintendo Switch has generated some shortcomings that have hindered its path in the video game sector. One of the most evident was the lack of power to support big games, which greatly limited its possibilities when receiving some of the sector's most important releases. Nintendo Switch 2 arrives to solve these problems, with much greater power than its predecessor, tripling its capabilities and allowing games like Cyberpunk 2077 to offer an impressive visual result on Nintendo's new console. Additionally, loading times are also notably reduced, while the introduction of technologies like HDR or 4K are an additional layer of visual improvements that put the console at the forefront of the sector.

This is not the only thing that stands out about Nintendo Switch 2 compared to Nintendo's previous console, as its design has also been adapted to be more ergonomic and prepared for market needs. The Joy-Con 2 are larger and adapted to the palm of the hand so that gameplay with them can be more comfortable, in addition to including a new sensor that allows using them as if they were a computer mouse, something that applies to menu navigation and certain video game functions, especially in cases like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. The console itself also has major differences, with a more stylized and robust design that offers a premium product sensation compared to the different Nintendo Switch versions. On the other hand, the screen, despite not having OLED technology, offers a fantastic visual aspect to extract the maximum potential from its games.

Nintendo Switch 2 is a definitive version of everything that was missing with its predecessor. The Japanese company has generated a system that hits the necessary notes to strengthen its model and manage to satisfy all the needs of users who launch into its purchase.

The game catalog, key to making the leap to the new generation

If Nintendo Switch stood out for something, it's for its ability to have a really wide and striking video game catalog. Therefore, one of the first measures taken with Nintendo Switch 2 was to convert it into a backward-compatible console so that practically the entire catalog available on the previous console could be reproduced. With this, more than 2,000 games can be enjoyed on the machine, some of them with significant improvements in graphic quality and performance to be able to get the greatest possible advantage from them on the new system.

However, what will end up defining Nintendo Switch 2's path in the market during the next decade will be its ability to generate an attractive release calendar for players. Mario Kart World has been the main title that has accompanied the machine, while Donkey Kong Bananza is the next to take the baton. 2025 will be completed by proposals like Pokémon Legends Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, but Nintendo must make a bold move with new announcements that continue offering arguments to users to make the definitive leap to the new generation.

With all this, Nintendo Switch 2 can mark a before and after through an attractive formula and prepared to continue giving joy to players who want to experience all its sensations. Nintendo has managed to maintain its essence with the objective of continuing to be the most in-shape company in the video game sector.
