Oh wow, so the Nintendo Switch 2 is out and it’s like, the hot stuff right now, but good luck grabbing one unless you’re a ninja or something. Seriously, they’re flying off the shelves faster than a cat with a cucumber. Classic Nintendo though, right? Always making it feel like a treasure hunt, or maybe just a cruel game of “let’s see if you can find me” — not exactly what I signed up for, but here we are.
So, what’s the big deal with this new Switch? It’s not just a facelift; it’s had a growth spurt or something. Bigger Joy-Cons, a fancy new kickstand (because apparently, that’s crucial), and let’s not forget a jazzy dock — which sounds both cool and kind of unnecessary, but hey, to each their own. You might want to think about grabbing one of those microSD Express thingies, too. I mean, 256GB is decent, but for those of us who can’t delete a game (what if I WANT to replay everything?), extra storage sounds sorta like a must.
Size-wise, the thing’s packing a 7.9-inch screen. Somehow this seems substantial? Maybe? It’s a little over half an inch thick. Not too shabby! And the resolution—1080p for the LCD, but stick it in the dock, and some games go up to 4K. That’s cool—I think? Floating numbers and pixels can be confusing, honestly. Oh! And HDR’s there, and 120 fps…if the game supports it. Whatever all that means, it sounds impressive. In a “look at me, I’m tech-savvy” kind of way.
Bundles are also floating around if you wanna feel like a winner snagging Mario Kart or whatever. Just pray, cross your fingers, do a little dance, maybe sacrifice some Wi-Fi, and hope the cosmos aligns for you to find one in stock.
Jumping across the pond, it’s pretty much the same story whether you’re grabbing it in the US or the UK. It’s a circus of retailers trying to restock faster than a toddler with a sugar rush at recess. Places like Best Buy, Walmart, Argos, and even those rare online spots you save for last. Like, is it just me or does it feel like the Hunger Games out there trying to snatch one up?
Anyway, enough of my rambling—what was I saying? Oh right, just keep checking—refresh that browser, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll be the proud owner of the not-so-mythical Switch 2. Lucky you if you do!
