All of our Switch 2 news reviews analyses and more
It’s been a huge few days for the Switch 2, with a jam-packed Nintendo Direct and our first opportunity to get hands on the console and try some of the new games and features. While a lot of the reveals have been exciting (Moo Moo in Mario Kart!), the steep prices for the Switch 2 and games have left many questioning whether investing in the new console is worth the cost.
We were lucky enough to get to try out the Switch 2, and the Joy Cons’ new mouse mode, and our early impressions can give you a sense of what to expect when the console launches in June. Below, you can find all of our Switch 2 coverage from this week, including news, takeaways, and analyses.
