The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially been unveiled. Nintendo confirmed it comes with 256GB of internal storage, which is eight times more than the original Switch. But here’s the thing: games have never been bigger. AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 clock in at a massive 64 gigs. If you’re anything…
No sooner did Nintendo confirm that the Switch 2 utilizies DLSS and will support ray-tracing that Nvidia has now given us a breakdown of the CPU and GPU the console will contain. While there aren’t raw numbers to compare against Nintendo’s rivals, we do know that not only are DLSS…
During yesterday’s Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo spent a surprisingly decent chunk of time describing GameChat, a new system feature that is basically like all of the social features Microsoft introduced to the Xbox 360 20 years ago.

With how often I still play Splatoon 2 I hadn’t realized it’s already been out for almost a year now. The ink-splashed sequel has been a Switch mainstay since July 21st last year, with all the new maps, weapons, modes, and more letting the undersea good times roll. After the…
