I didn’t just order myself before Nintendo Switch 2. The price is high, no new thing Break Bruce Or Metrod prime (Yet), and I have a very good original Nintendo switch and a steam deck that keeps me busy. First, I could just justify 50 450 because I write about gaming tech Stuffy
But in two weeks, I can Almost Justify the cost of an additional method: Switch 2 is proving to be an upgrade for my entire family.
I’m not basically talking about the handmine, though yes, you can hand over your real switch to a baby by basketing in a large, sharp screen of switch 2. Mom and Dad always get the best home seats, okay?
But no: I’m talking about how Nintendo’s new features are helping me share the joy of gaming with my 8 -year -old baby like never before.
We bought a switch light with our daughter last Christmas Crossing the animal And Let’s go PackichoAnd he played all this. All the other gaming made the living room TV monopoly, where he and his younger sister often clashed with what to look ahead.
But two weeks ago, my eldest suddenly realized that we can now magically beaming any of our old purchased digital games in its switch 2 with our switch 2, and lending them like a library for two weeks at a time. When I play Mario Cart World La SHE of Switch 2, she followed my abilities in my old copy Mario Cart 8 Delux; Soon, I will play the horrible Cyberpank 2077 While she tries Valley Stardo. And in both cases, I do not have to worry about whether it will lose the cartridge.

Then we got a game share, a feature that allows a switch 2 to be beaming on its entire screen and controls the other switch, which gives the other person a screen and control of the multi -player games. We started playing Super Mario Odisi As a daughter and father, Mario controls and who controlled his emotional flight cap, cape.
Since each of us had our own portable TV effectively, he didn’t throw his head between me and the screen as they never do when we read the books of bedtime. And since none of us was making the TV monopoly, the young baby had to watch his YouTube videos from complex dynamic stop motion Lego Food factories.
When it was time that I took time to fly across the country last week, my eldest urged me to keep it playing Maria Odisi When I was gone. The virtual game card came again: five quick taps, and a game download on its switch appeared magically.
They What The game has to start from the beginning, as I could not find a way to harmonize the safe game between two different consoles with two different Nintendo accounts… but it shows that his plan was with him. Apparently 8 -year -old children enjoy more repetitions than American adults!
Don’t misunderstand me, I am still a fan of physical media, and I especially worry that Nintendo will remove his sheet under our digital purchases, which has a track record of his closure. I think Nintendo can do a lot for parents to improve switch and switch 2.
One, I wish the company would not closely close its webcam -driven game chat on the new Nintendo Switch 2, because I like to play Mario Cart With my daughter during my business journey. The original switch and switch light cannot have horsepower for video chat like four player screen sharing and switch 2 simultaneously, but of course they just have enough for webcam? It is also strange that my daughter’s Nintendo account has no obvious way to integrate safe games with offline “Kid” profile on her original switch.

But most of all, I am afraid that a game game share for the two screens will not deserve its attention or adoption. This is such a clever way to reproduce cloud gaming technology, but the initial list of games synchronized with the game share is low and it has not yet included a clear victory. Mario Cart World Or Super Mario Bruce WonderThe latest main line entry into the series and one who is great to play with children.
It has been about 25 years old Mario Cart: Super Circuit Let you put four portable consoles to play a limited multi -player for the game boy advance, even if only one person has a copy of the game. Mario Cart DS With “DS Download Play”, once again offering a single cartridge multi -player, the same thing was done 20 years ago, which offered a single cartridge multi -player. But for this, the game developers needed a conscious effort to create a new Single Cart Mullet Player methods of their GBA and DS titles, and not every deserving game was one. The game share should not have this problem: Since it is just running the screen and the controller, so it should work theoretically Anyone The game you play on the same screen today. And yet for some reason, Nintendo has not turned it on for many sports simultaneously.
If Many of the Nintendo Switch’s Many Excellent Third Party Sofa can standardize the game share for games, such as More Coke 2For, for, for,. TMNT: Revenge of SHRADERAnd Lego Star WarsAs by activating your titles Kerby and Farmed LandFor, for, for,. Super Break Bruce UltimateFor, for, for,. Donkey kong countryAnd Lougie’s Haveli 3This can make the switch 2 an easy choice for parents who want to play with their children.
And it will be in the final goal of Nintendo for the past seven years. As Mario and Zelda creator Shigro Miamoto presented in 2018: “Our final ambitions are for a Nintendo Switch that it is owned by not only every family, but also every person.” Personally, I now have a switch 2, a switch, and switch light in our home. We are nearby’s dreams of Nintendo’s dreams.
