According to Arstechnica, when Nintendo launched its Switch console in 2017, its innovative design as both a handheld console and a home gaming system gave it a competitive edge in the market.
Now Nintendo has launched Switch 2, but the market has changed, with many portable gaming options, including handheld PCs, streaming-based devices, and retro emulation machines.
Nintendo’s approach with Switch 2 has been to enhance and upgrade the original Switch, addressing some of its technical limitations, particularly in terms of power and graphics performance.
However, the reviews suggest that whereas Nintendo has successfully built on the features that were most popular on the Switch, such as removable Joy-Con controllers, it may not be enough to differentiate Switch 2 significantly from its competitors in a market where handheld gaming is now mainstream.
