Now only weeks away from launch, the hype surrounding theNintendo Switch 2has reached its peak, with fans eagerly waiting for the new handheld console and its highly anticipated titles to appear on store shelves.
The original Switch will be a tough act to follow, with Nintendo’s 2017 hybrid console selling over 150 million units during its lifespan, making it the third best-selling console of all time, behind only the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation 2. While the new hardware will largely maintain the same overall look, theNintendo Switch 2 will bring some major upgrades, including 4K support, a larger 7.9-inch screen, and a whopping 256GB of storage. Players can also look forward to utilizing the new GameChat feature, allowing for both screen sharing and audio chat. In the lead-up to the system’s release, more details are coming to light, including a handy feature for the more scatterbrained gamer.
Detailed on the Nintendo Today! app and shared by user Stealth40k on Twitter, the Switch 2 will have a ‘Search for Controllers’ feature to help players locate their Joy-Con 2 controllers. While the original Switch also included this feature, it has been enhanced for the new hardware, with the Joy-Con 2’s including improved sound output by way of their HD Rumble 2 capabilities. Now, the controllers will emit much louder sounds, making it far easier to track them down in a hurry. Additionally, Nintendo recently revealed the reasonwhy the Switch 2 controllers won’t have analog triggers, noting that digital triggers made more sense for its upcoming console.
