The Nintendo Switch 2 maintains a familiar aesthetic but introduces several improvements, particularly in its ergonomics and size. It is about an inch wider and a half-inch taller than its predecessor, which benefits hand-held usage significantly. The larger 7.9-inch screen enhances gameplay visuals, making experiences like Mario Kart more enjoyable. While the device is heavier than the original, the new Joy-Con 2 controllers provide better grip and support, potentially reducing hand strain, especially for longer gaming sessions, although comfort levels may vary by hand size.
When in handheld mode, the Switch 2 is about an inch wider and a half-inch taller than the original Switch. This increased size allows the Joy-Con 2 controllers to hug the new 7.9-inch screen.
While playing Mario Kart World, I really appreciated the increased screen real estate, allowing me to soak up the image of a cow on a motorcycle doing backflips over Donkey Kong.
I can't say that the Switch 2 will alleviate all of the issues people had when playing games in handheld mode, but I have some hope.
The Joy-Con 2 controllers are a bit longer, I was able to fully grip the controller without my pinkie and ring fingers dangling uselessly under the console.
