Oh boy, it’s that day. The big one. Nintendo Switch 2 is officially out! And if you’re like me, probably too late to the pre-order party because, well, procrastination. April wasn’t that long ago, was it? Anyway, let me just say, this thing was bound to fly off the shelves faster than my morning coffee disappears. Who knew gaming consoles could create this kind of frenzy?
Right, so picture this: The Switch 2. It’s bulkier, like it’s been hitting the gym with those larger Joy-Cons. And the dock? It’s had a makeover too, plus there’s this new kickstand. Does anyone else think of the kickstand on an old-school bike, or is it just me? Anyway, this is the sort of stuff you notice at 3 AM when you can’t sleep.
Let’s get techy for a sec — 7.9 inches of screen goodness, and it’s not thin. Like, 13.9 mm thick. If that means anything to you. And the display? Hello, 1080p! The original Switch’s 720p seems almost quaint now. With the dock, guess what? 4K potential! Without it? 120 frames per second and possibly HDR? Who comes up with this sorcery?
Oh, and if you are one of those organized types who got a pre-order in, there are bundle options. Mario Kart sound familiar? Or maybe you’re collecting peripherals like stamps. Whatever floats your boat.
This is supposed to be where I guide you on where to snag one of these beauties in the U.S., but let’s be real, stores like Walmart, GameStop, and the rest are probably as out of stock as my fridge on a Sunday night. I guess keep an eye out, or pray to the gaming gods.
I’m babbling. Time to check back later for more updates — if I remember.
