The Nintendo Switch 2, which launches on June 5 for $450, promises better performance and visual fidelity than its predecessor. Its launch lineup includes several notable ports, such as Cyberpunk 2077, Street Fighter 6, and Hogwarts Legacy, alongside a few exclusive titles. This shift is largely due to the original Switch's limitations, which often resulted in subpar conversions of AAA games. The expectation is that these ports will provide a superior experience on the new console compared to what players previously encountered on the original Switch.
For folks who primarily play on Switch and soon Switch 2, it will be a chance to play a lot of great games that were too much for the OG console to handle.
Unlike the old Switch, Nintendo's new machine is actually going to be able to run these games without compromising visuals and features.
The original Switch got plenty of ports during its run, but most AAA games were chopped up and squished onto the aging hardware, resulting in some really ugly conversions.
A big chunk of games announced for Switch 2 so far are ports of older titles.
