Switch 2: the good news and bad news
In most ways, Nintendoas Switch 2 is exactly what we wanted: a Switch, only better. Nintendo has an occasional tendency to follow its best and most successful consoles with some of its weirdest ideas a Wii U, anyone? aAbut this time seems to have stayed the course in the best way. Still, this is Nintendo, so there are a few oddities in this console.
On this episode of The Vergecast, we talk about all the best and worst things about the Switch so far. (I should say: one of the very worst things is that its pre-orders have been delayed because of the Trump administrationas tariffs, and thereas a strong chance itas going to be even more expensive than we think. We recorded episode before a lot of the tariff stuff went down, but thatas surely the worst news of the lot.) The Vergeas Ash Parrish, one of the few people who has actually played with the new console, tells us all about her experience. We dig into how the screen looks, whether Donkey Kong Bananza can be a generational game like Breath of the Wild was, the strange feeling of the mouse controls, the big emphasis on video chat, and much more.
