The full overview for the Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here and we also have a release date to go with all of this for Switch 2
The day has finally come and we have been given all of the details for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. No more speculation and we have some confirmations that things are as they seemed in the teaser. Like the fact that the Joy-Con 2 controllers are magnetically attached to the screen now and a few of the other basics about it. Like Amiibos will still be in use for the system and that there will be two USB-C ports, but not specifically only for charging the Nintendo Switch 2. All of that and the fact the console will be launching on June 5th for $449.99. A happy day and with more to talk about as we wait for the months to fly by until it releases.
In addition to all that we mentioned before, it looks like the screen is truly larger for the Switch 2 than the previous one. Not in thickness, but in screen dimensions. That will be nice as it will allow us to play our games there in a nice 1080p with HDR and 120 fps for games that can rock that. That is while the system is not docked, with the new dock for it all allowing up to 4K resolution for titles that are made in that way. Along with that, there will be a built-in microphone for being able to communicate, and the USB-C ports will allow for a camera system to be plugged in to bring the Switch 2 closer to all of the other consoles and platforms we are currently playing our video games on. You can see all of this in motion, as well as how the Joy-Con 2 controllers can be used as a PC mouse and other motion controls if developers so choose to add these features in.

Is this all that you were expecting to see for the Switch 2 or did you think we were going to have more to look at when it came to the console? How do you think developers will use the new hardware and abilities that the Joy-Con 2s will have in the mix here? Would you want to run the camera and audio out of the system directly or would you rather have a way to run it all through your own systems instead of the equipment shown here? Head on down to the comment section to discuss all of this and everything else that comes to mind.
