The Nintendo Switch 2 is launching with a handful of new games, but for many of the people getting one this week, the main thing to play on it is software made for the original Switch. We’ve known for months that the Switch 2 would maintain backward compatibility with the vast majority of Switch games, but one major question was whether the Switch 2’s improved hardware would benefit older Switch games in some way. Especially in recent years, first- and third-party Switch games have struggled wi

After about two days of using the Nintendo Switch 2, my best description is that this is Nintendo's original Switch console, all grown up. But that growing up is still in progress. The Nintendo Switch 2 is all anyone in gaming is talking about right now, and it could very well be the biggest gadget of 2025. Nintendo's console sequel is something I got to demo several times this spring before finally getting one a day before the official release on June 5. By now, thousands of Switch 2 owners ha

The techs over at iFixit have completed their teardown of the Nintendo Switch 2, which launched this week . After completing a thorough analysis of the newest Nintendo console, it appears this generation of Switch is even harder to repair than its predecessor. iFixit has assigned the Switch 2 a repairability score of three out of 10. This represents an even lower score than the retroactive four out of 10 they awarded to the original model. A substantial consideration in iFixit’s scoring system

The first thing you do after tearing open the Switch 2's box is snap its Joy-Con 2 controllers to the sides of the console. But unlike the Switch 1, which used flimsy rails to connect its controllers, the Switch 2's Joy-Con rely on magnets. That leads to a visceral "thunk" whenever you snap them on — it's as if they leap out of your hands and right onto the Switch, ready for some Mario Kart World action.

TL;DR Nintendo Switch 2 owners are learning the hard way that they shouldn’t skip the system transfer prompt. System transfer allows you to transfer your user profile, digital games, and more from your Switch to your Switch 2. If you skip the initial prompt, you won’t get another chance to use it, unless you do a factory reset. Although the wait may have felt like an eternity to some fans, the Nintendo Switch 2 is finally finding its way into homes. As with any console launch, you’re probably

Nintendo originally billed Virtual Game Cards as the Switch and Switch 2’s new means of managing the games, making the process of loading digital titles as simple as slotting in your physical Game Cards from one console to the next. In practice, Virtual Game Cards are one of the more restrictive examples of DRM we’ve experienced. Not only does it mandate you have a single copy of a game at any time, but you can also only have one instance of local save data on one system. Virtual Game Cards will

If your main fitness goal is to reduce body fat, you don't have to pay for a gym membership to achieve that goal. In fact, there are simple habits you can do at home to burn body fat. Just remember to avoid spot training since research shows that focusing on a single area with targeted exercises won't result in fat loss in just that spot. Instead, when you exercise, your body breaks down fat stores from various areas, not just where you're focusing your efforts. To lose fat overall, concentrate

The Nintendo Switch 2 comes with a one-year limited warranty that covers the cost of repairing unexpected defects, but any damage that falls outside that coverage will cost you. Avoiding that could be key, because based on Nintendo's customer repair portal, paying to fix a Switch 2 is noticeably more expensive than repairing an older Switch.
