Nintendo is embedded in the hardware battle with a new control panel. Switch 2 will support DLSS Technology and Ray Ray, and it will be released with the Switch 2 versions of the top legend of Zelda Switch games, The breath of the wild And Tears of the kingdom.
But these hardware upgrades really have you?
We had a limited time with Nintendo Switch 2 at the preview event of New York, but we ordered The breath of the wild Go to a simple test. How long does it take to go fast from Lanaryu tower to the resurrected temple on Switch 2, compared to the original switch?
When Link Fast traveled, he left in a light stream, and then the game cut down a download screen. And it is there.
- On the original Nintendo switch, the downloaded screen between Lanaryu tower and the temple lasted 29.85 seconds. Certainly long enough to choose your phone begins to become attractive.
- On Nintendo Switch 2, the load time was cut to 19.2 seconds.
According to our mathematics, it is about 35%improvement, and nothing to sneeze. It was not the PS4 dance to PS5, but the waiting is significantly shorter than before. And any reduction during the time I spent on staring at my reflection in the Switch screen is a victory for me.
Moreover, we played a series in the Korok forest, which is famous for lagging on the original Nintendo Switch. In the demo of Switch 2, we did not encounter any problems in the same performance issue, with maintaining 60fps smooth transparent.
Switch 2 will be more expensive than Nintendo fans used to pay, but at least in performance, there are some real improvements.
