2 buy or not 2 buy. Editor’s Note: Nintendo declined to send out Switch 2 review units to media in the weeks prior to launch, and a patch went live on 4th June which enabled most of the console’s functionality. Since April, we’ve spent multiple hours with Switch 2 in sterile rooms, monitored by attentive…
Improved frame rate and higher resolution. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet got a Switch 2 upgrade earlier this week bumping the game up to Version 4.0.0 and breathing new life into the latest generation.

And they ain’t cheap. Unexpectedly, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour might have been the most-discussed game in the console’s launch line-up since it was revealed back in April. The reason for these discussions hasn’t always been positive *cough* why isn’t it a pack-in? *cough* and as more people start to get their hands on it…

Improvise, adapt, error. We’ve known since the Direct that Switch 2 will only work with microSD Express cards if you want to expand the console’s storage.
