The Nintendo Switch 2 has been out for a year, and it's time to take a closer look at its performance and features. The console has seen significant improvements in graphics, performance, and backward compatibility, but there are still some areas that need improvement. The Switch 2's display is a mixed bag, with poor motion handling and limited HDR support. However, the console's backward compatibility is a triumph, with most original Switch titles running better than ever. The Switch 2's voice system, Game Chat, is also a standout feature, with effective noise cancellation and clear audio. The Joy-Con's infrared controls are a clever addition, but their use-case scenarios are limited. Overall, the Switch 2 is a capable and long-lived success story, with a mix of inspired and frustrating features. It's a modern, cleverly engineered hybrid system that is set to be another long-lived success story.
