The new Nintendo console was finally discovered in full, with a magnetic attachment of Joy-Cons, a new chat function and a 7.9-inch screen of a higher level that supports 120 Hz and HDR.
Then there are new joys. Along with larger SL and SR buttons made of metal, controllers can be turned off by pressing a more pronounced release button on the rear panel. A large update, however, uses any Joy-con, like a mouse. (And even use them On your pantsIf you want.)
Switch 2 also uses DLSS, so it is easier for developers to transfer games to a hybrid console. In very Nintendo, in fact, he did not talk about hardware, so NVIDIA had to fill in the gaps.
According to NVIDIA, responsible for the chip inside, Switch 2 has a “ten times” graphic characteristics of the original. DLSS Tech means that games can be presented in a lower resolution, and trained AI models and dedicated tensors can be used to fill additional details.
Using this additional power, Switch 2 supports up to 60 frames per second with a resolution of 4K and 120 frames per second with a resolution of 1440p or 1080p, attached. The 1080p screen can process variable update speeds up to 120 Hz in portable mode.
Yes, catching up over the past two decades, Switch 2 can also make video chat (and voice chat, but yawns). Nevertheless, it requires a camera for the sold series worth 50 dollars. Buoy
I think this amazes the price of the price. The original switch amounted to $ 300 at launch, PS5 starts at $ 399 now. Switch 2 is $ 450. Of course, this includes the screen and (technically) two controllers, but this is a little jump.
Nintendo Factoring in tariffs? Maybe. While some of us think that $ 450 is Corresponding price For the console itself, costs creep in all directions. I want a new one Be sure to Mario Kart World? Now it is $ 80. Meanwhile, old games, reprinted on Switch 2, will also not be cheap. Cyberpank 2077 Rings of $ 70. Of.
If you want to expand storage, you will need a Microsd Express card, a higher, more expensive version of a tiny storage card. Need a different pair of joys? It will be $ 90, please.
Want pre order Switch 2 in front of the launch on June 5? We have all the details, but it is worth noting that Nintendo is trying to get ahead of scalpers, offering a special preliminary order system for existing users of heavy switches using the Switch online subscription.
According to Nintendo: “The emails at the invitation will be priority primarily, first of all, for registrars who purchased Nintendo Switch membership online from a minimum of 12 months of paid membership and at least 50 gaming hours, as of April 2, 2025.”

GameChat will be free until March 31, 2026.
While we could not try it at an early practical event, Voice Chat is an integral part of the new Nintendo console. By pressing the new C to the right Joy-Con, players can jump into the game reserve with friends and family. Nintendo demonstrated this function during its recent Switch 2 Direct, along with the new Switch 2 camera, which also turned on the video chat with the profile of the cutout. This is very similar to a stream in Discord, with windows at the bottom of the screen for each chat participant. Up to four friends can share their screen and join the video chat if they own the Switch 2 camera.
Signalgate was just the beginning.
Not long ago, since this is a disaster with a message to exchange, but American politicians continue to demonstrate their minimum experience in national security.

Government departments usually use services by e -mail of business, while the federal government also has its own internal communications systems with additional security levels.

Engineers at the North -West University have developed the smallest pacemaker in the world. It is so small that it approaches the tip of the syringe. It safely dissolves into the bloodstream after a while, so this is a temporary solution. It is intended for people who need heart assistance in the short term, such as newborn children with congenital defects. The pacemaker is combined with a wireless device installed on the patient's chest. When he detects an irregular heartbeat, it shines the light that activates the pacemaker.
