For as long as I can remember, Nintendo's gamepads have been a core part of my life. The NES's original rectangular controller was awfully unergonomic, but I still loved it, and it set me down the path of being a lifelong gaming and gadget geek.

Nintendo just made a better Nintendo Switch, and that's a good thing. This powered-up console delivers in every way that counts, even with a couple of headaches at launch. Now, we just wait for more games.

The Nintendo Switch 2 improves upon the original in nearly every way but battery life, with a bigger screen, sharper graphics, and smarter Joy-Con controllers.
