Why Switch 2 is worth watching now

Switch 2 is in the early phase where first-party exclusives and multiplatform blockbusters accumulate at the same time. The main draw is getting Nintendo's characteristic handheld-to-docked experience at next-generation performance. Titles listed as Switch 2 may not be compatible with the original Switch, so confirm supported hardware before buying.
