Switch2 Experience Event: Impressions, Highlights, and Key Takeaways

First off, let me make it clear: this is absolutely worth getting your hands on.
1️⃣ Feel: The console’s overall size has grown compared to the NS1, yet the thickness remains virtually unchanged. The joysticks are now larger than their predecessors in the JC lineup, and the SL/SR buttons have been elongated and widened for effortless pressing.

The shell boasts a skin-friendly material that feels smoother and more pleasant to the touch.
2️⃣ Controller: Contrary to expectations, the magnetic design proves to be far sturdier and less prone to detachment. The gap between connected controllers is flawlessly executed (more details in an upcoming video).

Unlike the NS1, there’s no issue with loose sliders; the controllers lock tightly in place, allowing for secure one-handed use without slipping. These claims have been rigorously tested on actual devices. Even when plugging in two JCs backward, they’re still recognized correctly, causing no harm to either the machine or the controller.

3️⃣ Charging: As we all know, the NS1 supports up to 40W charging—advertised as “fast” but not exactly lightning-fast. Now, the NS2 steps up its game with support for 60W charging, enabling you to enjoy fast charging safely (though keep in mind, anything above 120W super-fast charging is still off-limits).

4️⃣ Games: The debut release of Mario Kart delivers an outstanding experience, with gameplay that’s both smooth and crystal-clear—far from the blurriness some might have anticipated. BANANZA is a delightful game suited for all ages; kids will revel in demolishing entire scenes, while adults can immerse themselves in uncovering every collectible element possible.

That said, there’s still room for improvement in instant perspective switching during gameplay. With the addition of the microphone system, multiplayer sessions boast a livelier atmosphere—especially evident in chaotic party settings where noise levels run high.
5️⃣ Personal Thoughts: While the screen resolution is already impressive, it’s still an LCD, leading me to speculate that an upgraded OLED version could emerge in the future.

Though the initial release may come at a premium, this won’t last long, so those who aren’t in a rush might consider waiting a couple of weeks to observe price fluctuations before making a purchase. Rumor has it that factories already in possession of the machines have nearly completed third-party accessories (such as back button grips, innovative camera designs, and SSD expansion cables), which could hit shelves right around the official launch date.

Of course, the above reflects my personal take. If you disagree, please refrain from harsh critiques. Should you spot any shortcomings or areas needing refinement, feel free to chime in with suggestions or additions [Fist Emoji].
