Larger, more solid, and heavier, it’s done. Now let’s move on to new products, which, let’s say it right away, do not justify a purchase. Currently, with its relatively thin catalog (but not surprising for a launch), the Switch 2 is nothing more than a luxury version of the first Switch.
Graphically, The console is based on a processor specially designed by Nvidia. But do not expect performance worthy of the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series X. Admittedly, the Switch 2 can run games like “Cyberpunk 2077“Without blushing, and overall, everything is more beautiful and smoother (especially the new versions of”The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild” et “Tears of the Kingdom“), but we stay at Nintendo, a company that has never occupied first place in the podium of the best graphics. And most often, by will.
To display all this, Nintendo opted for a new screen. On paper, the console, which abandons the OLED in favor of an LCD slab with management of HDR10 and a 120Hz refreshment rate, will disappoint some. It is true, an LCD screen will never be able to display deep blacks, such as the OLED. But frankly, even by placing the OLED Switch and the Switch 2 side by side, difficult to complain. Everything is brighter, brighter on the new screen.
The OLED Switch may display black blacks, but, in comparison, the whole seems much more bland. On the big screen, it will depend on your television, but once Dockée, The Switch 2 is capable of reaching a 4K resolution at 60 second imageswhile keeping HDR10. There too, nothing new in the world of video games, but it is a first more than welcome to a console from Nintendo.
