It comes with 256 GB of storage, 8 times the first switch
Given that a list of games has been shown, it is good news that Nintendo is significantly expanding its initial storage. The Nintendo Switch 2 comes with 256 GB of storage, eight times the capacity of the original switch.
This should mean that it will have a lot of space to download games immediately, and can expand it with a MicroSD Express card.
Mario Kart World is almost completely open with dynamic elements
The Nintendo Direct began with a deep immersion in Mario de Mario KartAnd it simply looks incredible. To start, you can still have 24 karts at once, but you are no longer limited to the track.
Nintendo turned Mario Kart into an open world title in the sense that he can expel the courses and the vast world (as described) that covers several regions. You can even lead you after a race concludes at the beginning of the next one. The lands in the game will be dynamic according to their region during the time of day and climatic conditions.
From the scenes that are shown, it looks very impressive and is very worthy of being the launch title of the console. We will learn more about it during a Nintendo Direct dedicated on April 17, 2025.

Beyond the ‘C’ button in Joy-Con 2, it is also in the new Pro controller and a GameCube controller of exclusive limited editing to change online subscribers.
The best way to play your favorite games
Switch 2 Edition are older titles updated for the new console, and could be one of the best reasons to collect a switch 2 in the launch.

Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games will be available physically and digitally, and the owners of the original games can be updated to the improved version by a rate.
In the future more Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games will be launched, but this is an excellent incentive for Nintendo Switch owners to update the last console.

We simply know that it is quite powerful, however, like Cyberpunk 2077 It is confirmed that it will reach the Switch 2. That is a fairly heavy game with specifications, so it will undoubtedly be more powerful than the first switch or even the OLED switch.
In addition, this system in a chip will also admit the fastest reading and writing speeds of the storage of 256 GB, feeds two USB-C ports and will enable faster reading speeds on the new game cards.
