Our Shopping Editors Recently Tested The Switch 2 at Nintendo’s Private Preview in Los Angeles on April 11 at CBS Studios’ Television City. The New Console Screen Is Larger and Brighhter than the First-Gen Switch and the Oled Edition and Has the Same Matte Feel, while the Joy-Con 2 Controllers Felt Thinner and More. We Like The Joy-Con 2’s New Mouse Control Feature That Lets You Glide the Controller Along A Table, Mouse Pad or Even Your Legs for A New Type of Game Play. We TRIED THE FEATURE OUT WHILE PLAYING NINTEENDO’S NINDO “Drag & Drive” Wheelchair Basketball Sports Game, and Found the Rolling Motion Easy to Learn.
