A refined and improved design
If Nintendo seems to be back on a design similar to the first model for its new Nintendo Switch 2, many differences are still to be noted.

Instead, a matt black coating has been placed on the entire surface, even if a few pastel keys hidden under the Joy-Stick.

Rumors believe that Switch 2 will be able to run games in 4K and 30 IPS (image per second). It could also include Ray Tracing, which perfectly transcribes the games of light, shade and reflections. Despite these major developments, the console should not surpass the PlayStation 5 or the S/X Xbox Series in terms of power.
