Nintendo Switch 2 Review
The highly anticipated next-gen console from Nintendo has finally arrived (5-June-2025) and our full review is coming soon.
Needless to say, we’re excited to dive into what promises to be a major leap forward in hybrid gaming. Under the hood of the Nintendo Switch 2 is a custom NVIDIA chip with 256GB of storage plus a large 7.9-inch LCD screen with HDR support for ultra-smooth visuals at up to 120 frames per second (fps). Whether you’re playing on the go or docked for 4K gameplay on your TV, the visuals are definitely an evolutionary leap from the original Switch.
Also supporting this next-gen console are the innovative magnetically attachable Joy-Con 2 controllers that also doubles as a mouse are just some of the features of the Nintendo Switch 2. With games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy and in-house exclusives like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, we’re super keen to give our thoughts on this new gaming machine!

With more games to come later this month, the initial line-up does have some great gems such as Mario Kart World and of course Cyberpunk 2077. Mario Kart World not only celebrates the classic core of this gaming series but it looks gorgeous on the Switch 2 with its crystal clear graphics and colours that literally pop. Then you have Cyberpunk 2077 and yes, I was dubious to this title on the NS2 but CD Projekt Red have really hit this port out of the park with its exceptional graphical that more importantly plays perfectly as well.
Supporting your gaming experience is the overall design of NS2 and although it’s similar to the original Switch, it feels great and the larger joy-cons adds to the experience. Speaking of joy-cons, they magnetically attach to the console and snap into the sides of the NS2 very well which is a noticeable improvement from its older gaming sibling. Those who like social gaming will appreciate the new GameChat Feature that allows you video chat with friends provided you have a compatible NS2 USB-C camera. Nintendo does offer their own camera which of course matches the aesthetics of the console itself.
In terms of dimensions, the console measures at a very comfortable 272 × 116 × 13.9 mm with a weight of just 535 grams that makes it perfect for those longer than long gaming sessions. Although the 7.9″ display is LED opposed to OLED, text and graphics are super sharp and with the inclusion of HDR (High Dynamic Range), this really enhances the gaming worlds that you visit and with the inclusion of the 120Hz refresh rate, the visuals are super smooth.
End of Day-2
