2. MUCH BETTER CONTROLLERS
Nintendo has also upgraded the Joy-Con controllers, this time with a new docking system that uses magnets. This means you don’t have to slide the Joy-Con controllers in like the original Switch. Simply put the Joy-Con controllers at the side and they snap into place. To undock the controllers, simply press a button at the side and they pop right back out.
The controllers are also slightly bigger and feel sturdier, and you’ll love how much more comfortable they are to use in your hand compared to the original Switch Joy-Cons. And since it’s larger, the top SR and SL buttons are also bigger and much easier to press.
3. BETTER PERFORMANCE
The Nintendo Switch 2 uses a custom Nvidia chip that offers substantial improvements over the original Switch’s Tegra X1 chip. This new chip not only loads games much faster, it also allows the console to access features such as Ray Tracing, Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling, and supports 4K resolution when the Switch 2 is docked.
Ray Tracing simulates and traces how light rays are in the real world, which allows realistic looking reflections, shadows and light effects. Meanwhile, DLSS is an AI-powered image reconstruction system that uses a lower resolution image and upscales it to look good.
