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.

Don't be fooled by the name – the new console offers a wealth of features that makes it a significant upgrade from its predecessor.
