Microsoft seems to be moving its games over to PlayStation, and Nintendo has an even better relationship with the company. It shouldn't be long before we see more Xbox games head over to the Nintendo Switch 2, especially since it can now handle more complex games.

The absence of any money talk during the Switch 2 Direct ended up backfiring on Nintendo as it caused the rampant spread of misinformation. It’s possible you’ve unknowingly come across some of this yourself. Here are the facts about the Switch 2’s pricing, cartridges, and compatibilities.

Nintendo has removed all mentions of the Switch 2's VRR functionality from its North American and Japanese websites. This seems to suggest that the Switch 2 will not support VRR at launch, though Nintendo has yet to comment on the situation.

While I'm unsure how fun it'll be to lean over my coffee table to play Switch 2 games with a Joy-Con mouse, built-in mouse support on a portable console certainly lends itself to experimentation. After all, a mouse is far more precise than a joystick or D-pad.

From the first announcement of the Switch 2, it's been a pretty universal assumption that the Nintendo Switch 2 would be backwards compatible with games from the Switch. Similar to the DS and 3DS, or Gamecube and Wii.

Nintendo has never had an achievement system in the vein of PlayStation trophies or Xbox achievements, and it's continuing this hallowed tradition with the Switch 2. Good!

The Nintendo Switch 2 sure looks like every Switch lover's dream console. Nintendo's sequel builds on what made the original such a hit, with some big improvements to hardware, controls, and even software.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is almost here, and one of the biggest questions on everyone’s lips is: how does the console stack up against current-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft?

The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 is accompanied by a bunch of new console-enhancing accessories. However, while new games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza are almost guaranteed to be a hit, one accessory in particular might be a letdown—the Hori Piranha Plant Camera.

One of the more frustrating parts of the upcoming Switch 2 launch is the use of "game-key cards;" physical cartridges that do not contain full games. Thankfully, Nintendo confirms that these carts will not be locked to your account or console. They're shareable and can be resold.

Despite Valve and Nintendo’s differences, the Switch 2 and the Steam Deck are surprisingly comparable portable gaming machines. Like it or not, the PC and console juggernauts are now going head-to-head for your money.
