With More Power, Bigger Screen, and New Joy-Cons, the Successor to the Switch Arrives in Brazil for R$ 4,500, but the Price of Games and the LCD Screen Spark Debate.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has hit the market and is already a phenomenon. Nintendo’s new console sold an impressive 3.5 million units in the first four days, becoming not only the biggest launch in the company’s history but in the entire gaming industry.
According to the first expert analyses, such as those conducted by the channel Coisa de Nerd, the Nintendo Switch 2 is a powerful evolution of its predecessor. It maintains the versatility of being a hybrid console but with much more power, a bigger screen, and new features that promise to redefine the gaming experience.
What Is the New Nintendo Switch 2? The Evolution of a Success
The Nintendo Switch 2 is not a revolution, but a very well-executed evolution of the formula that made the first Switch a success. It remains a hybrid console that can be played both on TV and in handheld mode.

The design is familiar, but the device is noticeably larger, mainly due to its new screen. It also brings significant improvements, such as an adjustable stand and two USB-C ports, one on top and one on the bottom.
The Heart of the Console: More Power and the Magic of DLSS
The major change lies in performance. The Nintendo Switch 2 has made a significant leap in power compared to its predecessor.
- RAM: Memory increased from 4 GB to 12 GB, allowing for more complex games with more elements on screen.
- Processor: The new chip, also developed in partnership with Nvidia, is based on the architecture of the RTX 30 series.
- DLSS: The console is compatible with Nvidia’s DLSS technology, which uses artificial intelligence to reconstruct images and deliver higher resolution with greater performance.
The New Joy-Cons and the Pro Controller 2
The controllers have also been redesigned. The new Joy-Cons now connect to the console via a magnetic system, more practical than the old rail. They also gained a “C” chat button and a camera, as well as a function that allows them to be used as a mouse in certain games.
The new Pro Controller 2 retained the design but now features two programmable rear buttons and a headphone jack.
Performance in Practice: How Do Games Run?
The power of the Nintendo Switch 2 is evident in the games.
- Mario Kart World: The new launch game runs at 1440p and 60 frames per second (fps) on TV, with races of up to 24 players simultaneously.
- Cyberpunk 2077: The heavy RPG runs impressively on the new console, with a performance mode that reaches 40 fps.
- Older Games: Titles that struggled on Switch 1, such as Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and the open-world Zeldas, have received updates and now run at a constant 60 fps.
The Price and the Controversy: The Console and the More Expensive Games
The most controversial point of the Nintendo Switch 2 is its price. The console was launched in Brazil for R$ 4,500, a 50% increase compared to the launch price of the first Switch.
Games have also become more expensive. The new Mario Kart World is being sold for R$ 500. This abrupt increase has generated a lot of criticism from consumers who, despite praising the new hardware, consider the prices too high. Another point of concern is the screen, which, although larger, remains LCD and not OLED, showing some ghosting (image trailing).
