Unlike previous console reviews, which involved isolated assessments, the review process for the Nintendo Switch 2 is reshaped due to Nintendo not sending early units to the press. Instead, with day-one software updates in mind, the review strategy will emphasize detailed explorations of the console's features. This approach reflects a shift in how reviews will be constructed, prioritizing diverse perspectives from multiple staff members at The Verge who are engaging with the console at launch.
This time, we're going to start with those deeper dives. A whole bunch of The Verge's staff has put in preorders and is now staring at tracking numbers or getting ready to line up to snag their unit tonight.
Nintendo has decided to not send out early review units... citing the need for day-one software updates. This was not the case with the original Switch.
