I spent three weeks testing the Nintendo Switch 2, considering design, performance and more. It's a solid successor—but with some caveats.

After the massive flop that was the Wii U, consumers had every reason to believe the original Switch, released in 2017, would be yet another Nintendo gimmick that would push people to buy a PlayStation or Xbox instead.

While the company is known for making bold decisions in its consoles, it has opted to play a little safer with the Nintendo Switch 2. Though there are a couple of new features, for the most part the Switch 2 is a more powerful Switch, and that's not a bad thing.
