Nintendo wants the Switch 2 to “stand the test of time,” which is something that the original Switch hasn’t really managed

Nintendo is hoping that the Nintendo Switch 2 will outdo its predecessor in at least one way: By actually standing up to the ravages of time.

In a blog post following the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, the Nintendo Switch 2‘s senior director, Takuhiro Dohta discussed the enhancements that have been made between the original console and its successor. While his colleagues pointed to factors like memory capacity, battery life, and the Switch 2’s new screen, Dohta said that all of those changes had been made with one aim in the back of Nintendo’s mind.
