The system finally has the power to run Nintendo’s most ambitious video games while also supporting the original library and old controllers.

"Switch 2 is a slick bit of kit, though, which instantly makes its predecessor feel slow and look very fuzzy. It makes your old games look and play better, and it's got enough quirks and quality of its own — just — to give it some personality while not upsetting the apple cart."

Enhanced performance and battery life mean longer gaming session, but the absence of early exclusives may leave some wanting more.
