Nintendo Switch 2 won’t keep up with other consoles — but that doesn’t matter
- The Nintendo Switch 2 introduces 4K output, 120Hz HDR display, and DLSS and ray-tracing capabilities, marking a shift towards power and next-gen visuals.
- Comparing the Switch 2 to other consoles, it is best compared to other handheld devices rather than gaming desktops due to different realms of possibility and energy constraints.
- In terms of power, the ranking in terms of overall power is Switch 2 > Steam Deck OLED > ROG Ally X, though power isn't the sole determining factor.
- The Switch 2 has a smaller battery compared to competitors like the ROG Ally X, but Nintendo's optimizations allow them to make the most out of the smaller battery size.
- Display-wise, the Switch 2 boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR support, VRR support, and a 1080p resolution, positioning it as a strong contender.
- The Switch 2 is rumored to utilise Nvidia AI tech such as DLSS, potentially enhancing visuals and frame rates for certain games, though not all titles may support this technology.
- First-party Nintendo games are not expected to extensively use DLSS due to their unique art styles, favoring native high resolutions instead.
- Ultimately, the Switch 2 caters to a specific audience with its strengths laying in first-party games and handheld capabilities, offering a different gaming experience compared to more powerful consoles.
- The launch of the Switch 2 is anticipated to bring more insights into its capabilities, with upcoming events like the Mario Kart World Direct potentially revealing more about the hardware.
