The gaming world is abuzz with excitement as Nintendo unveils the Nintendo Switch 2, set to launch next year. This new console promises a significant leap in performance and features, promising an immersive and smooth gaming experience for players.
New Games Coming to Nintendo Switch 2
Many highly anticipated games are set to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2. Enter the Gungeon 2 will feature a new 3D art style, an array of weapons, and fresh gameplay tricks. Hades II will let players explore a bigger, deeper mythic world with the full might of Olympus at their call. ELDEN RING Tarnished Edition will include the base game, the SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE expansion, and new weapons, armor, a new Torrent appearance customization, and more.
Other games set to grace the Nintendo Switch 2 include SPLIT FICTION, a co-op action adventure where players must coordinate and work together to overcome challenges. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will allow players to experience the full game, featuring the base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will release on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, allowing for both standard controls and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls.
Improved Performance and New Features
The Nintendo Switch 2 system boasts several notable improvements over the original Switch. It offers a higher native resolution of 1440p in TV mode, support for up to 60 frames per second, and significantly decreased loading times for games. The new hardware feature, JoyCon "mouse mode," allows a Joy-Con controller to be used like a computer mouse by sliding it across a surface, with adjustable sensitivity settings available in the system menu.
The Switch 2 also supports USB camera integration, enabling new social gameplay experiences such as "Chillin' by the Fire," where players can appear in-game via the camera setup, enhancing online and local social interaction. Backward compatibility with many original Switch accessories, including the Pro Controller, is maintained, though the old Joy-Con docking is not supported.
A Rich Library of Games
The Nintendo Switch 2 will offer a rich library of games, with many titles being tailored or remastered specifically to take advantage of the Switch 2's enhanced performance and graphical fidelity. Examples include Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, which shows marked improvements over its original version in visuals and load times.
Other notable games coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, both with performance upgrades and the exclusive ZELDA NOTES service. Fortnite, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, and Borderlands 4 are also joining the lineup, among many others.
