HORI has unveiled a brand new camera accessory for Nintendo Switch 2 that’s compatible in handheld mode.
Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.
As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.
I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.
A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.
But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading
Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.
IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.
As Nintendo gears up for the Switch 2, theories have emerged that Donkey Kong Bananza may be a tie-in to Super Mario Odyssey.
NE: "There have been some scattered claims going around lately saying that Nintendo is phasing out Diddy Kong, for one reason or another. If you have no idea what we’re talking about, that’s completely understandable."
Weird why Nintendo didn’t make an official one or have a built in one
… ooh yeah switch 2 second gen with OLED and maybe a camera built in with other things. Plus $100 price bump
so, instead of the Vita, Nintendo is emulating the PSP now? haha hilarious. I remember the PSP with its separate camera, TV receiver, GPS receiver, mic...what a time to be alive, eh Nintendo fanboys?
Now make an all in one case that doesn't cost $85 lol
It's all fun and games until nintendo strikes your account for sharing nintendo games on YouTube.
is nintendo game streaming huge?
