Oh wow, okay, so here we go. Nintendo Switch 2 launch day! If you’re lucky, you’ve got one in your hands—or maybe you’re one of those people who pre-order everything way back in April. Seriously, pre-ordering is like a sport at this point. If you didn’t nab one then, you might be staring at empty shelves. These things are hotter than a summer sidewalk, believe me.
Now, what’s the deal with this Switch 2? It’s bigger, yeah, but not like “barely noticeable” bigger. Think more along the lines of it stretching its muscles. Those Joy-Cons? They’ve put on some weight too. And there’s a brand-new dock and a kickstand, which… I mean, who really thought kickstands could evolve, but here we are.
The screen is where it gets funky. We’re talking a nice 7.9 inches of colorful chaos—1080p resolution, folks. Remember when your phone was revolutionary for having half that? Pair it with the dock, and boom, games in up to 4K. That’s like seeing a movie, but in your sweatpants—if movies were controlled by joy sticks. You can just play straight on its LCD screen too, with up to 120 frames per second. Sometimes I lie in bed wondering if I even need sleep when I could have HDR graphics. Probably not healthy.
Bundles are floating around too—Mario Kart, and all these add-ons. Someone’s gotta love accessories. My suggestion? Keep your eyes peeled if you’re hunting for one, because we’re updating this whole mess of pricing and stocks non-stop—or whenever we remember.
So, if you’re stateside and want a piece of the action, the big guys like Walmart, GameStop, Newegg, Best Buy, and Target are the places to hover around. Camping out in their parking lots? Totally okay in this case. Just don’t blame me if you snooze and lose. Good luck!
