Alright, so imagine this—you’re holding this beefed-up Nintendo Switch, let’s call it Switch 2, and it’s got this vibe like, hey, it’s probably the coolest gadget to dive into older epic games. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, right? You remember how they wowed everyone back in the day? Like, totally stole the show in 2017 and 2023. Magical worlds, killer gameplay, all that jazz. But here’s the kicker: plop those babies in the Switch 2 and it’s like…wow. Almost like discovering them all over again.
So, okay, picture this: you’re chillin’ with these games and suddenly, all those little nags — you know, the low-res stuff and snail-paced loading screens — just kinda disappear. The Switch 2 fixes it, sorta like magic but with less sparkles and more tech wizardry.
Anyway, during what I’ll call a ‘not-so-scientific’ experiment (trust me, I’m no lab coat geek), we ran some tests. Five times each. On five different things. Sounds repetitive? Tell me about it. We used both the Switch OLED and the new Switch 2, because, hey, comparisons are key, right? We timed stuff like game startup, save file loading, and all those quick travel zips across the map. It’s a hoot if you’re into that techie-test sort of fun.
Surprise, surprise, Switch 2 just blitzes through all this. Half the time, sometimes even faster! Tears of the Kingdom, well, it ran like a dream. Breath of the Wild was no slouch either but, you know, there’s always that favorite kid in the family.
Switch 2 editions just feel…well…zen-like. Smooth. You could play the OG games on this new gizmo, theoretically speaking, though I haven’t really had the time (or energy) to time that yet. But you’re probably thinking, “What’s the catch?” Ten bucks more per game, or if you’re feeling fancy, throw in for that Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack doohickey. Worth it? Probably. But my wallet always adds its two cents.
Ready to lose yourself in Hyrule again? I’d say go for it—if your budget’s cool with the splurge.
