I’ve spent a full week with the Nintendo Switch 2 — and it’s time to talk. In this video, I break down my first impressions of the Switch 2 hardware, including the updated Joy-Cons, the Pro Controller, that new camera feature, SD card storage setup, and more. But is it all worth the hype?

I’ll also share my thoughts on the games I’ve been playing: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, Fast Fusion, Mario Kart World, Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut, and Street Fighter 6: Years 1 & 2. There’s a lot to love here… but also a few things that gave me pause.

Whether you're considering picking one up or just curious what it’s like to live with the Switch 2, this is what it’s really like after seven days of hands-on time.
