Wow, so the Nintendo Switch 2 finally dropped, huh? And let me tell you, if you want one, you better have some patience—or maybe a magic lamp with a wish handy. Seriously, stocking up on these bad boys seems like a Herculean task for stores. They’re doing their best, but demand is, well, bonkers.
Oh, and it’s Prime Day or something, but don’t even think about scoring one of these with a discount. You might snag a cheap accessory or two, though. Fingers crossed.
Anyway, about this new gadget: It’s bigger. Literally. Larger Joy-Cons (because who doesn’t love bigger buttons? I mean, they’re great unless you have tiny hands). They’ve also reimagined the dock and kickstand—because of course they did. Need more storage? You might want a microSD Express card. Yeah, the 256GB might seem big, but, trust me, those games pile up quick.
Let’s chat about the display for a minute: 7.9 inches, which is… well, okay, not exactly a massive leap but a nice bump. It’s got a 1080p resolution, a step up from the original’s 720p. And when you dock it? Boom, potential 4K. That’s if the stars align and everything works perfectly. And, yeah, it’s got HDR and can hit 120 frames per second on a good day—depending on the software gods.
You can buy just the console or go big with a bundle, maybe one with Mario Kart. But don’t hold your breath; they’re selling like hotcakes, so check back frequently to see if you get lucky.
Now, if you’re Stateside and it’s Prime Day 2025, here’s the scoop: availability? Scarce. I mean, shark cage match scarce. So, keep hitting that refresh button. Places like Antonline, Walmart, GameStop, Newegg—yep, the usual suspects. Just checked today (or was it yesterday?), so hop on it.
Across the pond in the UK? Same frenzy. You’ve got ShopTo, Very, Argos—they’re all trying to keep up. Stock levels are like a rollercoaster, so just hang tight and keep checking back if you’re after one of these gems.
And there we have it. Good luck out there, and may the odds be ever in your favor, or whatever they say these days.
