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. Standard microSDs are off the table, but as systems are starting to crop up around the world, people are starting to test for potential workarounds. From what we’ve seen…
What do your insides look like? Chances are many of you are receiving your Switch 2 consoles by now, and we’d wager that, like us, you’re being extra careful not to cause any damage to your precious new hardware. Not so with YouTube repair channel TronixFix, which has posted the first full hardware teardown of…
Well, as fixed as it can be. The word is out: the Switch 2 is capable of making Switch 1 games perform better. In fact, according to a recent test from Digital Foundry, the Switch port of Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham Knight – a game that DF previously described as “the worst performing software” reviewed by…
Old is new again. It’s all busted open controllers over on Reddit today, and in particular brand new controllers that people have received with their Switch 2 consoles.

“the Switch didn’t age as gracefully as we’d hoped”. iFixit, one of the world’s leading online repair communities, has nerfed the original Switch’s ‘repairability score’ following a recent reassessment. Upon launch, the team had originally scored the console a pretty health 8/10, noting that the modular design of the system makes a lot of components…
They do look mighty similar to the old ones, mind. Well, it doesn’t take people long, does it? The Switch 2 has only just been released (heck, this writer hasn’t even got one yet) and early adopters are already taking apart their brand new Joy-Con controllers to see just what’s in there. Read the full…
“I offer this story once again”. With the excellent news that Final Fantasy Tactics is to receive a revamped and re-energised outing on both Switch 1 and Switch 2 on 25th September, the game’s creator and director, Yasumi Matsuno, has taken to the internet to share some personal thoughts. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles…
I’m all full up, thanks. If you’re old enough to read this, you’re likely old enough to remember that, at its launch, the Switch provided us all with a few giggles as we learned that its cartridges, tiny as they are, had been coated in a yummy-tasting sauce that keeps silly animals and the like…
