Although the countless switch 2 hardware leaks painted the picture of a similar console similar to its predecessor, Nintendo tried to prove that most of this week’s official switch 2 directly tried to prove that its next machine was more than just a simple upgrade. Certainly, the console can still connect your TV or stay like a handheld, and yes, excluding a new button, the device’s form element looks significantly alike. But, Nintendo said, find out in the abilities behind this new button, or in the new mouse functionality of Joey 2, and still there is the spark of creativity that separates the company.
After four hours with switch 2, and with all its new first -party games, I can see it – though the more experimental aspect of the console is also weak. Of course, in addition to maintaining the central switch concept of the hybrid play, keeping the central switch concept of hybrid play, while improving the need for upgrade, keeping its basic online social capabilities, its basic online social capabilities, the hybrid play has no conceptual concept. With switch 2 in your hands, you have a console that can hit the current general console standards: 4K, HDR, VRR and 120fps, at least some titles. And when I leave the pixel analysis on the digital foundry, it is clear from a quick game with the first -party software of Switch 2 that Nintendo is now capable of eliminating significantly more power under the hood.
Mario Cart World’s Openlandskap is a dramatic revolution for this series – a gambling that I believe it pays, and a new historical entry that seems to be the major popularity of Mario Cart 8 Delux compared to Nintendo’s last generation. I have written my detailed views in the Mario Cart World elsewhere. And then Donkey Kong is bananas, which directly removed Switch 2, which many people expected to be allotted to the new 3D Mario for a long wait, but after a while it seems as interesting.
In large floating 3D areas with large -scale demolition, bananas slapped their path through the burrow, stumps and enemies and rocks, tunnels under the surface, collided with the walls, and creates an estimated exit from the stone slabs out of the floor. At first glance, it may seem like another 3D plateformer. But the deepest dug, literally, and the possibility of the destructive environment of this game become clear. This is not just about the 3D space you can see, but also under the feet of DK’s hair monkeys – the 3D world – the cliff meters that hide the secret routes and ingredients.
Mario Cart World Wide, Like a smooth map, the extra processing of switch 2 can be seen in the amount you can break the banana 3D level, toss the explosive with satisfactory results, and fasten the areas with your fists in another. Yes, perhaps everyone may be expecting Mario, but the unconscious elimination of bananas is much more suitable for its one -time enemy, and it seems technically impossible on Nintendo’s old hardware.
In the case of cross -racism, Metrod Prime 4: A great example of a title beyond this shows that in the past, Nintendo has released quite similar to his two consoles (Wii U and a Wild’s breath on the switch, or the Game Cub and Wii Princess). Instead, beyond 120fps/1080p performance or 60Fps/4K quality methods, when the first for any Nintendo -made game, but today acknowledges the expectation of this choice.
Eight years after the original announcement of Matrod Prime 4, it felt that I was eventually holding a demo in my hands. Even more, he managed to recreate a retro method – beautiful, but a little history (which dares) a slight history (which dares) – it felt as if playing a long lost episode many years ago. As Nintendo’s recent Switch 1 is proof of this, will eventually offer the latest gameplay (psychological powers!). However, this switch 2 edition Demo focuses only on the opening of the game cinema, and a large boss focusing on the fight against the Matrod -infected space dacoits. I would expect that the series is still awaiting discovery for the silent, solo exploration, as this tester was more about being caught by new controls of the game.

It is here that the switch 2 offers more than the only added horsepower, and some Nintendo creativity that has brought in the past has brought control of our cardboard controllers and WII sports. The main new addition of switch 2 (along with the game chat, which is sad that I was not available for effort) is a fresh hardware trick: mouse functionality. This gives you a turn of Joey 2 on the edge of it, and adds a thin, rail -shaped bumper that pushes the controller’s base across a surface of the controller.
In Matrod Prime 4, it facilitates you to keep the right Joy 2 as a standard PCFPS mouse, while the left joy 2 usually holds 2. This means that you can pass through the mouse controls and move the samos (through the left control stick) – which is a clear upgrade. But whether you want to engage with this control option, it will depend on your setup at home, and whether you are sitting at a desk or playing on the couch. Nintendo has said that Joey pointer will work on the leg of your pants, if you want to change the mouse around the surface instead of a tough surface. But although this may be possible, I think I will just turn the gambling of the commonly held-at which point, Metrod Prime 4 cleverly detects this change, and changes the standard gamepad style controls.
This is in the desired mouse functionality of Joey 2 for the drag X drive, which I am less sure. Essentially three v What I played – and the switch that was shown in Directorate – felt a bit more than the tech demo, and I would have to admit that I came with more questions about the project than the answers, as well as a pair of tired weapons. The Drag X drive is ending this summer and it seems that the swelling is filling the arms space on 1, where the hardware feature gets a game to show it, with entertainment but eventually somewhat unstable results.
The same can be said for the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, a game that is described as designed to help players better understand the hardware that is just bought by, but which you also need to buy separately. Instruction manual, developer blog and a combination of mini -tech demo, this game allows you to respond to quizs, to check the cursor and rimble of Joey 2, observe the console HDR and rimble features and even play a mini game where you need to try and estimate the frame rate of an item. For this, and the drag X drive, pricing will be key. But eventually they are very small, and I believe it is deliberately. They are sometimes OD balls of Nintendo, while its large hitters sit on the safe ground.
For the majority of the players who bought Switch 1 and played Mario Cart, for millions of people who watched the Super Mario Bruce Movie and wanted something more from Donkey Kong, new entries in each franchise prepare Switch 2 for a very strong launch, which provides the help of the hardware and the right -hander. Many of my games were in docard mode, but when I was able to play handheld, I was affected by the LCD -screen. This is an important upgrade by its predecessor, and with its large size and extra bonus of HDR, I am more close to the switch OLED crispy than I expected. And that, I’m sure, it will be enough. The switch 2 does not re -apply the wheels, but it does not need – and here’s the cursor with the cursor control shows why doing something different always increases the risk. But then the switch form element has always been about the choice. Regardless of switch 2 Nintendo, a convincing next step for Nintendo.
