Digital Foundry delivers its initial verdict on Nintendo's next generation console/handheld hybrid system.
Funko Fusion has been announced as being ported for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo Switch gets biggest update in years with version 20.0.0, and patch notes mention virtual game cards, Switch 2 transfers, and more.
Really messy communication again from Nintendo!!
The patch notes say you can upload your system to the cloud ready for your switch 2 if you’re selling your original switch early. However it states it will automatically wipe your switch 1 on completion back to factory settings.
However, the news section directly on the switch has been updated with a page dedicated to installing this update and says feel free to run the switch transfer to the cloud at any time without any issues and doesn’t mention at all that it will wipe your console. So watch out folks.
I remember transferring my content from the og Switch to an OLED and it saying data would be lost on the old one. It wasn't the case as ahead of donating it I did the factory reset myself. This is probably going to be a similar case of not everything being deleted.

This is where I live to. I stopped buying from GameStop long ago. I hardly if ever go into a BestBuy, Walmart, etc. I do most of my shopping online, I have my preorder direct from Nintendo, just need to wait for the email.
I wish I had the same confidence you have. I signed up on the 3rd of April a day before they delayed the initial preorders. It's a lottery so nothing is quareented. Also If a NSO N64 pad can hobble Nintendo's site what do you think a new platform will do.
I'd love to be wrong but after the BB website snafu and aforementioned Nintendo history I'm just not all that confident these days. 😆
TBH, I'm still not commited to buying the Switch 2 even with my preorder notice, from Nintendo, which will be after May 8. I just feel indifferent about it now. 😁
No surprise. This happens at Gamestop with every console release. There is so much pressure from corporate so employees resort to extortion to make their metrics.
the bit about the feel of the unit and how it did not feel any different... I cant really use my switch with the original joycons anymore after getting a crkd holder. it adds a better feel and heft to the system and I cant wait to see what crkd will bring to the switch 2. i also use a nyxi gamecube style joycon controller and that made playing metroid prime feel just like i remembered... even better in many ways. When i use the flip grip for tate shmups, that is all i use now is the GC cons and not the regular joycons anymore.
After that blatant paid Nintendo Ad drop on their channel, I completely lost any kind of objectivity in any of their Nintendo-related coverages.
Take their Switch 2 coverages from now on with a few grains of salt.
Lots of forced weirdly positive comments on the video as well.
