The Verge, a foreign media outlet that participated in a play demo of the Nintendo Switch 2, noted that the high performance of the gaming console was apparent.

The Nintendo Switch 2's display has been increased in size from the Nintendo Switch's 6.2 inches to 7.9 inches. When you actually put them side by side, you can clearly see that the console size has increased by one size. It's not just the display size that has evolved; the resolution has also evolved from 720p (1280 x 720 pixels) to 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels), and the supported frame rate has also evolved from 60fps to 120fps. In addition, the Nintendo Switch 2 supports HDR , and features a brighter game screen than before.

Using a dedicated dock, video output at up to 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) is also possible.

However, the thickness of the device remains the same as the Nintendo Switch at 13.9mm.

Here are some impressions from playing multiple games:

'

Mario Kart World will feature larger courses and smoother races for up to 24 players.'

' Donkey Kong Country : Bananza features detailed destructible environments with zero lag.'

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond runs at a high frame rate of 120 fps, and we can see improvements in both frame rate and resolution.'

In addition,

an official Nintendo developer interview revealed that the Joy-Con 2 vibration sensor has evolved into 'HD Vibration 2,' which The Verge commented, 'The new haptic feedback function called HD Vibration 2 provides a more realistic feel in mini-games.'

The Verge writes, 'The Nintendo Switch 2 is not a dramatic evolution, but it is an upgrade worthy of being called '2', and it can be said to be a refined model change rather than a revolutionary one.'

Technology media TechRadar has released a video showing that the finished Nintendo Switch 2 exceeded expectations, saying that it 'far exceeded our expectations.'

The appearance has been reduced to a toy-like appearance, and we particularly appreciate the color scheme of the Joy-Con 2, which is based on black with red and blue as accent colors.

He also mentioned that because the Joy-Con 2 is larger and has a rounder shape than previous models, it feels 'much better in the hand.'

The response of the Joy-Con 2 buttons is also much more responsive and less soft than the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con, and the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller also has the same button response.

TechRadar also praised the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller for its white top surface, L/R and ZL/ZR buttons, and part of the joystick, making it easy to distinguish from the original Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

In addition, mouse operation with Joy-Con 2 is surprisingly good. It seems that you can quickly switch to conventional gyro operation just by lifting Joy-Con 2 from the desk.

Although the image quality of Street Fighter 6 is not exactly the same as that of the PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC, it is 'not far off the mark.' The game maintained a stable frame rate of 60 fps during gameplay, and was as responsive as other systems, with comparable loading times.

TechRadar praised the Nintendo Switch 2, calling it 'more than just an upgrade.'

The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con had to be inserted and removed along a physical rail, but the Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 has evolved to a format that attaches to the main unit with a magnet. This makes it easier to attach and remove the Joy-Con 2, but 9to5Toys has contacted Nintendo staff about this magnetic attachment and removal method.

According to the staff, the Joy-Con 2 can be removed from the main unit by pulling it hard without pressing the detachment button, but even if this happens, it is designed not to cause damage to the Joy-Con 2 or the Nintendo Switch 2 main unit. 9to5Toys also said, 'It is unclear what kind of magnets are used, but the strength of the magnets is impressive.'

The Joy-Con 2 has an overall matte texture, is soft to the touch, and is made of a material that is resistant to fingerprints, giving it a 'similar impression to the iPad's

Magic Keyboard .'
