Hands-on with the Switch 2: It’s the Switch, too (arstechnica.com)

TL;DR:

  • Joy-Cons are more comfortable for adult hands, though still not as big as other systems.
  • Mouse mode joy-cons are awkward. The buttons are small and there is no place to rest your other fingers and palm.
  • You will want to have a table if you are playing mouse-oriented games like Metroid Prime 4 and Civ 7.
  • Graphics seem better than the Steam Deck, worse than a PS4 Pro, but will improve as games are optimized.
  • Mouse aim works well in Metroid.
  • Mario Kart World is good and Knockout Tour is a fun addition to the game.

Graphics seem better than the Steam Deck

I’ll wait for a Digital Foundry analysis before I’ll believe this for a second. Did y’all see Elden Ring at the Direct?

Their preliminary thoughts are that the direct's footage for this title was probably processed incorrectly and may not represent the experience on actual hardware.
