The Nintendo Switch 2 improves upon the original in nearly every way but battery life, with a bigger screen, sharper graphics, and smarter Joy-Con controllers.

At a glance Expert's Rating Pros ・Powerful chip that brings the Switch 2 up to the level of a PS4 (Pro) ・Better frame rates and faster loading times ・Useful improvements such as HDR and 4K support ・Light and handy despite larger screen Cons ・Low battery power ・No OLED screen and therefore no real HDR in handheld mode ・Console edges are slightly

For clarity: the Switch 2 isn't 'just a big Switch'. This is a whole new system, with exclusive games – although only one key title at launch, in Mario Kart World. Unless you count Welcome Tour (a 'must', according to my colleague).
