Even without the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":43.36,"end_s":51.12,"text":"Joy-Cons, this probably weighs about as much as my original Switch. Maybe I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":48.64,"end_s":57.52,"text":"could get over that thanks to the 1080p up to 120 Hz variable refresh rate.

That HDR support","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":58.68,"end_s":65.36,"text":"honestly a little bit controversial because while Nintendo did add support","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":63.12,"end_s":71.04,"text":"for high dynamic range, which I'm very excited to see, what they dropped was","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":68.4,"end_s":75.92,"text":"the OLED panel technology that we saw in the Switch OLED. So, it's kind of a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":73.92,"end_s":81.52,"text":"trade-off.

We'll","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":112.88,"end_s":118.84,"text":"take a look at that in a second. And oh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":116.0,"end_s":123.84,"text":"wow, the regular shoulder much improved over the original","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":121.439,"end_s":132.239,"text":"Joy-Con as well.

Do you care that it's not a physical copy of the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":179.2,"end_s":186.08,"text":"game? Okay, I'm going be honest with you guys.

I'm","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":186.08,"end_s":192.239,"text":"a filthy scrub, but like what? I'm going to go to a store.

Looked at those once for the original Switch and then never used","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":216.799,"end_s":222.12,"text":"them, but sure. Let's check them out. You didn't use your wrist straps. Why","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":220.08,"end_s":227.12,"text":"would I use my wrist straps? Okay, that's a pretty decent little","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":224.4,"end_s":230.159,"text":"mechanism.

Are these the left","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":244.239,"end_s":252.319,"text":"and right click? Probably. Wow. I didn't believe the rumors. Okay. In one of our","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":249.92,"end_s":259.44,"text":"early like leak summary videos, I was like,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":254.84,"end_s":263.12,"text":"\"No, no.\" You know, it is more stable","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":259.44,"end_s":265.919,"text":"than I expected.

Like it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":293.12,"end_s":302.16,"text":"doesn't have like a wide stance. I mean, here Pro Controller 2. Here it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":298.52,"end_s":304.4,"text":"is. See, look. Nintendo does understand","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":302.16,"end_s":308.8,"text":"that your arms come from your shoulders and therefore you need an angle here in","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":307.039,"end_s":312.4,"text":"order for the hands to meet in the middle. Considering what they charge for","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":310.4,"end_s":317.84,"text":"their Pro Controllers, that is still pretty damn mid. How do you not even","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":314.08,"end_s":319.52,"text":"have analog triggers? Good lord. Um,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":317.84,"end_s":325.84,"text":"joysticks feel a little better. Still not hall effect, by the way.

And that is about it, my","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":385.68,"end_s":392.0,"text":"friends. actually feels kind of kind of cheap.

My Nintendo Switch 2. Wake up, Link. Oh, it was a dream again. No, it's not a dream. My Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here. Is it more expensive than the original Switch? Absolutely. Is it better than the original Switch in every conceivable way? That looks like a big fat yes as well. Starting, of course, with the display, we go from 6.2 2 in to Oh my goodness. An above average 7.9 in. Dude, it's huge. Like, I've seen pictures, but good lord, it's heavy, too. Even without the Joy-Cons, this probably weighs about as much as my original Switch. Maybe I could get over that thanks to the 1080p up to 120 Hz variable refresh rate. Not to mention support for HDR. That HDR support honestly a little bit controversial because while Nintendo did add support for high dynamic range, which I'm very excited to see, what they dropped was the OLED panel technology that we saw in the Switch OLED. So, it's kind of a trade-off. Do you want the perfect inky blacks of OLED or do you want the vastly increased performance of the Switch 2? and you really will be making that choice thanks to not unprecedented but certainly very generous backwards compatibility with the Switch 2. Now, before we get any further, I want to check out these new JoyCons. Lots of things to write home about here. Generally larger JoyCons, making them better for adult hands. Vastly improved shoulder buttons. To be clear, they're still not amazing. You're still gaming on a Joy-Con, but wow, huge improvement. Here's the little release button for the magnetic attachment mechanism. We'll take a look at that in a second. And oh wow, the regular shoulder much improved over the original Joy-Con as well. That's a nice little click. Uh let's go ahead and pop this on. That is surprisingly secure. I expected I was going to be able to just kind of rip it off. And I can, but not unless I'm doing it on purpose. Wow, that's pretty good. I wasn't actually quite finished looking at the Joy-Con. Both of them have optical sensors in them now, so you can use them as the world's worst mouse. And before we get any further, I guess we should probably have a look at some of the other things that are inside the uh notoriously not protective box. Apparently, some people have been stapling receipts to the front of this and damaging the screen. So, hopefully Nintendo can clue into that and start packing it screenside down like the same person. All right, what do we got? Mario Kart World Code already redeemed. Sorry, don't even try. Let's go. Do you care that it's not a physical copy of the game? Okay, I'm going be honest with you guys. I buy all my games digitally for my original Switch. I know. I know. I'm a filthy scrub, but like what? I'm going to go to a store. I'm a digital game guy, so I understand why people would be upset that it doesn't come with a physical cart. I can't say that I am as upset, but I also haven't been in a position where I've like gone to sell one of my games and been kind of pissed. So, highspeed certified HDMI cable. The Switch 2 will do up to 4K 60 Hz HDR connected to a compatible TV. Oo, wrist straps. Yep. Looked at those once for the original Switch and then never used them, but sure. Let's check them out. You didn't use your wrist straps. Why would I use my wrist straps? Okay, that's a pretty decent little mechanism. I can't say that it really does anything for ergonomics this time around, though. If anything, it just kind of puts these mouse feet in the way of reaching the shoulder buttons. Can't say I'm a huge fan of that. But I'm sure Nintendo knows what they're doing, and many gamers were demanding to have a mouse built into the Joy-Con so that they could do this. Are these the left and right click? Probably. Wow. I didn't believe the rumors. Okay. In one of our early like leak summary videos, I was like, \"No, no.\" You know, it is more stable than I expected. With that said, oh my god, do they expect you to wear the the mouse skates are on the wrist strap? So, they expect you to wear the wrist strap while using it as a mouse. Safety first, baby. What I really want to do is just see the display. Okay, they've got another one of those little controller adapter magigs. Did they somehow make the ergonomics of this worse? The size does not feel like a benefit here. It's so like you see what I mean? Like it doesn't have like a wide stance. I mean, here Pro Controller 2. Here it is. See, look. Nintendo does understand that your arms come from your shoulders and therefore you need an angle here in order for the hands to meet in the middle. Considering what they charge for their Pro Controllers, that is still pretty damn mid. How do you not even have analog triggers? Good lord. Um, joysticks feel a little better. Still not hall effect, by the way. Chat button, headphone jack. Oh, paddles. Okay, that's kind of neat. Easy to ignore if you don't really care about them. a 60 watt charger to take care of the 5200 millia battery. Reasonably compact actually love to see it. That is not the world's longest USBC cable. But I just got to say even though it's not new for the Switch 2, I'm so grateful that Nintendo switched over to USBC from their proprietary nonsense that I'm not even going to complain about this cable because I can so easily replace it. Really is not a very long cable for something that I might be plugged into the wall while I'm using though. Now for the dock. Unlike the original Switch, which does have a dock obviously to help you charge your JoyCons and also uh quickly connect to your TV, this one includes active cooling that actually turns the Switch 2 up to 11, allowing it to run at a higher resolution and frame rate compared to if you're running it in handheld mode. Ethernet connectivity is included along with HDMI. And there's your power in. And that is about it, my friends. actually feels kind of kind of cheap. Sorry, there's a couple USB 2 ports over here. You know what's crazy? The timing of this is like amazing. My kids, all three of them just picked up Breath of the Wild just like randomly in the leadup to the Switch 2 launch. And I'm like, part of me is like, \"Oh yeah, it's a really great game. I hope you guys are enjoying it.\" But the other part of me is like, \"Yo, the Switch 2 is coming and you'll be able to play it at not 21 FPS in the dips uh very, very, very, very soon.\" All right, first time holding it. I didn't think 400 g was going to feel that heavy. Man, they really did not reinvent the wheel here. If you liked the launcher of the original Switch, you will love this. And if you didn't, then too bad. Here's a Switch OLED. Sorry, I'm just I'm thinking I'm thinking I'm thinking. Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but even though the thickness is identical, like Nintendo's got a thing for things that are 13.9 mm thick, because it's so much bigger and because it's heavier, even though it's just 115 g, heavier than the Switch OLED, it just feels feels like dense. Not in a bad way, like I don't think it's going to be significantly more fatiguing than the older consoles. Like I think the magnetic mechanism, in spite of being larger and therefore more difficult to stabilize, feels tighter. Here's something that should be identical between them. Okay, the Breath of the Wild Icon. Man, that OLED pops, doesn't it? What I can say for sure is that both of these are worlds better in terms of brightness and saturation compared to the original Switch. But like, I should certainly hope so when we've got a new HDR display. power button, volume rocker, substantially larger exhaust vent, which I guess makes sense when you consider the more powerful NVIDIA processor that's on the new Switch 2. Uh top USBC. Here's our game cart port, or should I say game key? Yes, my friends, Nintendo's changes around their game cartridges has sparked more than a little bit of controversy. the microphone that Nintendo says will allow for clear voice communication. Yes, even from across the room. That kind of remains to be seen, but that'll probably have to wait for our full review. Bottom-mounted USBC port. Personally, huge fan of this design change. As much as I, you know, love a bottom mounted port for holding like this once you rest it on the desk or you have it in your lap, kind of sucks. Of course, Nintendo's real reason for it is so that you can attach this camera. I don't think that I could care less about this camera if I tried. Nintendo intends it to be used with their game chat feature, which again, somewhat controversially, is going to be accessible to everyone for free for the first year, but in the future will require a Nintendo online subscription. So, I guess I won't use it. It's got a privacy screen integrated though. That's always nice to see. Comes with a USB cable. It's cute in a hi, I'm an I in your living room kind of way. Not that I think Nintendo is going to do anything particularly creepy with any of the data just because I just don't care. And if you don't use chat, that new C button kind of useless. I really just want to play games, but I feel like I should poke around in the system settings at least a little bit. Bluetooth headsets supported right out of the gate this time. That took them a little while on the original Switch. Wi-Fi 6 should result in significantly faster game downloads, which is going to be important because the games are a fair bit bigger with higher resolution textures, much more storage. We get 256 gigs of onboard storage. Do we get a micro SD expansion? Oh, right. Yep. It would be under the new and improved kickstand, man. Especially when you compare this to the OG Switch. This This was like unacceptable. The OLED is fine. I guess this is a huge improvement. I can put it at basically any angle that I would want to and it will stick exactly where I put it. Huge. And yes, micro SD expansion down there. Who would have thought Nintendo would be the first of the big game console companies to support industry standard storage? And did I even mention that it's upgraded? It's now MicroSD Express, which is flipping way faster. So, good guy Nintendo, but also to my knowledge, you still can't back up your saves to it unless you like have Nintendo online. So, bad guy Nintendo. Out of principle, until they fix that, I am not buying a Nintendo online subscription. So, by the way, one more quick thing about the storage slot is you cannot use regular micro SD. It's not fast enough. I totally get that. Cool. I mean, I guess this is the thing about it being the sequel to the Switch. It's Switch but better. And this is just so much more generally refined and complete compared to what the original Switch was. Very comprehensive menus for audio and display. Check this out. RGB range. I can adjust uh whether I want to do high refresh rate, auto, low latency mode. Dude, that's great. I can make HDR adjustments. In general, I guess that's a benefit to this being the sequel to the original Switch is it just feels very feature complete right out of the box. Can I play games now after we talk about Dbrand? Oh yeah, right. First, we got to talk about Dbrand. Dbrand is showing off their new Switch 2 compatible kill switch. It's the everything accessory, improving the ergonomics and ruggedness of the Switch 2, as well as acting as a protective travel case and game holder. There's a front screen that you can actually see through to see your games, which is kind of cool. Translucent, little something like that. And of course, a three-piece protective cover that Oh, that's really impressive. Still gives you access to all of the IO and features that you would need from your Switch, too. They also sell screen protectors, by the way. Look at that. You can totally still use the kickstand, which is really nice. Now, let's throw these onto our JoyCons. vast improvement in ergonomics there. And naturally, because it's Dbrand, you can get vinyl skins to customize the look of your console. They went to great lengths to color match the salmon and blue that are the uh Switch 2's colors. Oh, here. Hold on. Sorry. Let's go ahead and get this one changed out. Looks sharp, doesn't it? The game cart holder is magnetic, so if you don't want it for whatever reason, you do not have to carry that around if you're an all digital boy or a lady. And what else we got in here? Couple joystick grippies. And of course, you're probably wondering, how the heck is this supposed to fit in the original dock? Well, it doesn't. So, you use this adapter. But Dbrand is extremely proud of the work that they've done to ensure that you still get 4K pass through even when you take this and swamp, put it on like that. Let's go. And you still get the benefit of a cooling fan, too, which is pretty remarkable. She's chunky, but thankfully this sits in your living room, so it shouldn't be a major concern. This is how the travel case goes on. A little bungee like that. And to get yours, you just got to go to shortlininus.com. Regardless of how I feel about the ergonomic improvements of the kill switch, I'll be spending the rest of the video just gaming with the Dbrand skins on because this is supposed to be an impression of the product itself. Okay, Breath of the Wild. Let's go. I haven't touched this in years, so I'm going to suck, but I know what it's supposed to look like. Dude, these speakers are so much better. Nintendo says the speakers are way better. I thought I'd need a side by side. Is a Sheica slate. They are way better. It will help guide you after your long slumber. Dude, these are like really good. Oh man, that screen though. it. It's amazing what a difference just like a fraction of an inch can make. Is this still running at 30 FPS? Do you have to buy the enhanced edition to not run at 30 FPS? Yeah. What? You got to be kidding me. To its credit, it's a locked solid 30 FPS, but come on, man. Nintendo. Ah, man. Ah, you guys you guys suck sometimes. Not only that, but you need the enhanced edition to get the additional save slot, HDR, and the quicker loading times. Like, it's faster hardware. It should just run better. While we wait for that to install, let's check out the HDR experience with Mario Kart World. Well, well, don't have the timing down. Okay. How much of a thing is drifting? Okay. Wow, that sucked. Look, this is my first time playing. Okay. I've never played a Mario Kart game before. Dude, this screen looks really good. It's bigger and better to the point where I would say it makes a substantial difference to my old man eyes ability to play the game. Here's something crazy, though. I got to confess, I didn't even think about the frame rate. I'm not used to that when I'm gaming on a Switch. Normally, it's like, oh yeah, there's a hiccup, there's a stutter, there's a little frame drop. Yeah, it's it's butter smooth. I think this is only 60 FPS, but a smooth 60 FPS, especially on a variable refresh rate display feels pretty darn good, but we can get more than 60 FPS if we switch over to the TV. So, let's do that. Dude, I can't believe there's like what's that stupid What's that old game called? Wave something. Wave. Yeah. I can't believe there's a wave racer level. I have not really gotten into a Mario Kart game since Mario Kart DS. Um, the fact that there's a wave racer level already has me pretty interested in playing this. I don't know, dude. This is awesome. It feels so smooth. Not accustomed to that on a uh Nintendo console. Not going to lie, dude. I have waited so long for a new Switch. Exactly as long as the rest of you. Unless you're young and you weren't around when the Switch One came out. Pow. Anyway, we're going to do a full review on LT apparently."}
