Nintendo Switch 2 vs Nintendo Switch: which console should you buy?

They may look similar, but there are some big differences between the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original

But should you rush out and buy Nintendo’s new console straight away, or are you better off picking up the original for a cheaper price? Not only is the Switch 2 rumored to be significantly more powerful on paper, but modern-day technologies like Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling should let developers squeeze even more performance out of the new console. We’re yet to hear about which titles will come to Switch 2, but rumors suggest we could finally get Mario Kart 9 and there is strong third-party support from publishers such as Ubisoft and Square Enix.
