In which, Nintendo gently takes us through the design of its new handheld. It&#8217;s not surprising in any way: a slab of screen onto which two controllers now click into place. There&#8217;s a couple of USB Type-C ports, a rear stand, the usual array of buttons, and the new controllers come in a peachy red and blue.<\/p>\n<p>More like the Switch we know and love except more grown-up. The rough edges have been smoothed out into gentle curves, the colour accents are few, and generally it looks more like a handheld gaming PC than any console. Though you could argue most handheld gaming PCs look like the Switch\u2014it&#8217;s a classic chicken and egg situation. Though the Switch 2 seemingly offers Joy-cons that turn into mice-looking devices?

Though it launched before a time when handheld gaming PCs were really <em>a thing. <\/em>Now they very much are, will the Switch 2 be able to win over quite so many PC players?<\/p>\n<p>Personally, it will win me over. I&#8217;ll speak on behalf of a good portion of the PC Gamer team based on their reactions to Nintendo&#8217;s announcement (&#8220;SWITCH 2 BABY&#8221; is a direct quote), it&#8217;ll win a good few others over, too. And that&#8217;s really nothing to do with the hardware\u2014after all, we don&#8217;t actually know the exact specifications or even price of the Switch 2.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the games. It&#8217;s always the games with Nintendo. For many that&#8217;ll be the promise of the next Zelda game. In theory, a game able to run without limitation on the newer hardware and therefore be bigger, bolder than ever. Though for me, it&#8217;s whatever Game Freak is cooking up for the next mainline Pok\u00e9mon game. God forbid anyone ever emulate an older Pok\u00e9mon game on a handheld gaming PC (Nintendo, you reading this?) but I still want the hot new thing.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and Mario Kart, I suppose. Though I have to make an admission that I feel that series peaked with Double Dash, or at least my interest in playing it did. Hey, this isn&#8217;t Nintendo Gamer, I can say what I like.<\/p>\n<p>And providing all these games are actually Switch 2 exclusives and not half-and-half releases that sort of straddle the line between truly next-gen and just old enough to still run on the older hardware. Switch 2 exclusives are noted in the new trailer, though I&#8217;m hoping this is seen as a full generational leap forward and not some 3DS\/New 3DS thing\u2014that leap was more of a limp.<\/p>\n<p>I can see it now: Switch 2 or <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/steam-deck-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steam Deck<\/a>? It&#8217;s a question we can only answer when we actually have something more to go on from Nintendo as to the specs and price of its next console. But for now I think a lot rests on the launch lineup for the Switch 2.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"9XZknzkUTEaM8TrM7BDc23\" name=\"(102) Nintendo Switch 2 \u2013 First-look trailer - YouTube - 0-1-41\" alt=\"A screengrab of a Nintendo Switch 2 reveal trailer, showing the Switch 2 playing Mario Kart on a light blue background.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/i-will-get-a-switch-2-for-pokemon-and-no-handheld-gaming-pc-on-earth-can-stop-me.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Nintendo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3338px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.23%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"jf5bPNQgSGmdXu6NEwNGEj\" name=\"steam-deck-white-front\" alt=\"Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/i-will-get-a-switch-2-for-pokemon-and-no-handheld-gaming-pc-on-earth-can-stop-me-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3338\" height=\"1877\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Valve)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>That list of exclusive must-have games for the Switch (1) took nearly eight years to come together. <em>Eight years<\/em>.

It&#8217;ll be a while before that shapes up for the Switch 2. In the meantime, a PC gamer&#8217;s unwieldy library of fantastic (and some probably rubbish) games to choose from is unmatched.<\/p>\n<p>Will that very good argument stop me from buying a Switch 2 at or close to release (pending the almost certain stock shortages and general ensuing chaos)?
