Meaningful improvements have been made to Switch 2s ergonomics, too.
It also feels much nicer in the hands thanks to larger, more rounded Joy-Con 2 controllers.
How does Switch 2 feel?
In person, the Nintendo Switch 2 looks significantly less toy-like than the original Switch.
Button actuation also feels much snappier, and less mushy than on the original hardware.
This extends to the refined bumpers and digital triggers up top.
What improvements do the Joy-Con 2 bring?
They pop out easily, simply by holding in a button on the rear of each controller.
They also snap back into place in a satisfying manner.
Theyve been designed to have bigger and smoother movement.
What about the Switch 2 Pro Controller?
Face buttons also feel exceptionally snappy near non-existent travel time.
I dont think theyre quite a microswitch or mechanical, but they sure feel close to it.
The Switch 2 Pro Controller has also had something of a facelift compared to the original unit.
Its bumpers and triggers are now cast in white.
The triggers are still a fully digital press - no analog here.
So hows performance?
Generally, games on Nintendo Switch 2 ran well in my experience.
Shockingly well in many instances.
The fact the consoles 1080p handheld display can push 120fpsandfeaturesHDRsupport is nothing short of astounding.
Playing it andTears of the Kingdomat a rock-solid 4K 60fps on console feels like its not real.
But it is on Switch 2.
Both games also have drastically sharper image quality, meaning theyre absolutely the definitive version of each release.
By and large, what we have here is a leaps and bounds improvement over the original Switch.
For the new Nintendo GameCube lineup, performance was a little all over the place.
Hopefully, these are issues that can be ironed out before launch.
I was also able to spend some time playing a handful of other Nintendo Switch 2 games.
Next, Ill give you the rundown of some of my highlights during my four hours.
One very cool thing aboutPrime 4is its utilization of the Joy-Con 2s mouse functionality.
No option tweaking needed.
Next up was the newly announcedDonkey Kong Bananza,which was playable on the show floor.
And I do still have some concerns as mentioned above.
