Is the Nintendo Switch 2 worth it? I've been using mine heavily for six months and here are my honest thoughts. This should help your decision, so if you're thinking about buying one, save this video for later. First off, battery life. I recently took mine on a four-hour flight and went from full charge to about 10%. Now this is obviously going to depend on what game you're playing, but you can expect about five hours on a full charge, which is pretty good for a handheld this powerful. Secondly, the screen. It's not an OLED panel, but somehow Nintendo made the LCD screen look pretty good. You're getting a 7.9 inch, 1080p, 120Hz display, which is honestly more than enough for most people. And compared to the original Switch, the difference is literally night and day. Now, there is one major flaw, the price. The console itself is around $450. Games range from $70 to $80, and if you add on an extra controller and accessories, you're close to $700 total. And that's definitely not cheap. But if price isn't an issue for you, the Switch 2 is definitely a massive upgrade over the original. I've put a ton of hours into mine already and I honestly think it's worth it. Let me know if you plan on buying one for the holidays and like and follow for more.
