Nintendo Switch 2 Visual “Upgrade” Praised By Developer

January 24, 2025 by Todd Black

That’s something to be excited about!

It’s now been over a week since the Nintendo Switch 2 was revealed to the world, and people are still dissecting the reveal trailer that Nintendo shadow-dropped to see if there are any other clues or indications as to what the console might be like; play like, etc. As we noted yesterday, the high around the new system is so high that The Big N’s stock has literally risen to all-time levels, which is awesome. Hype among most fans, the ones who aren’t straight-up haters, is also rather high, especially when new reports come out detailing just how powerful the Switch 2 is.

A new one was posted on Twitter via Sundgrand Studios, which had previously worked with Nintendo on the Wii U and 3DS. As you’ll see in the tweet below, the head of the developer indicated that the game shown during the Switch 2 reveal was not only impressive but proves that the new console is far more powerful than its predecessor:

Nintendo Switch 2 is 'significantly more powerful' than the original Switch, according to a Wii U and 3DS games dev.

It’s important to note that this is just one person’s perspective on the console and that they’re basing their statement on what they saw in the video. However, they are a game developer and are used to seeing how powerful or not powerful certain systems are. So, while they likely aren’t able to drop specific stats or numbers for the console based on the video, their saying that it’s “significantly more powerful” than the OG Switch is good to hear.

Why is that? To be honest, there wasn’t really a bunch of “needs” that The Big N needed to do to make the Nintendo Switch 2. Most fans agreed that they wanted a “better version of the Switch.” You know, quality-of-life improvements that would help make the experience even better the next time around. Some of those “quality-of-life changes” have already been shown via the release video, like having a bigger screen, a better stand to rest the console on, more functionality with the Joy-Cons, and, of course, better graphics.

Nintendo wasn’t trying to “reinvent the wheel” again with this new system, and they didn’t need to. They just needed to do a better version of what they had done and make it clear that this was a “significant leap” from what came before. By all accounts, they did that.

The only missing piece of the puzzle are the games that’ll launch with the system. Thankfully, we’ll get answers to that on April 2nd.
