Little is missing from Nintendo Switch 2, which will be released on June 5 and is highly anticipated, also because it will mark the transition to the new generation of Nintendo portable consoles. There were a lot to decide the name, at the beginning the code name was “Ounce”, then they wanted to call it “Super Nintendo Switch”, but luckily she won Nintendo Switch 2, she would be happy with sheldon Cooper. Who, in a mythical episode of The Big Bang Theory, undecided whether to buy the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One, was irritated by the name of the second: “First there is the Xbox, then the Xbox 360, why 360? And after the 360 the One? What is one? The second time that took us to find a name? ».
However, it is a name approved by Sheldon and many news. Starting with the internal memory, 256 Giga, and as support the new microSD Express, which will greatly reduce the waiting times for the loading of the heaviest games (even if for those who, like me, were a teenager in the eighties, all the loading times seem very fast, to load a game of only 5 k you could safely take a shower and see you an episode of Goldrake). Another cute thing will be the “C key”, where C is for chat. In fact, by pressing the Switch Switche will immediately be to the GameChat function, which will allow you to look at each other and feel with friends. There are already several games “Next Gen” announced (let’s not forget that a new console is bought for new games, not to play better for the old ones) such as Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, The Duskbloods, Hyrule Warriors and Drag X Drive.
Ah, and then there are the Joy-Con, which also become mouse, and they are called, always to the delight of Sheldon, Joy-Con 2: they connect magnetically to the console, and have an integrated rollerball, therefore they can also be used as mouse, both in new games, but also to navigate in the interface just as it is done with the mouse of computers.
The price? 469.99 euros for the basic console, 509.99 (this psychological strategy of the ninety -nine commas still really works?) For the bundle with Mario Kart World.
Finally, Nintendo also maintains the tradition of bitter cartridges (by the way, the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, so you can play the old games and the slot is the same), characteristics of the first switch, covered with Benzoato’s Denatonio, which makes them very bitter to protect the children who could put them in the mouth and swallow them, but also adults, says the Nintendo, even if an adult who plays is normal, swallow cartridges is not so well.
