Without being connected, the reproduction time on Switch 2 can be highly variable. On demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 OR Hitman: World of AssassinationThe battery would be downloaded from full to empty in about two hours. On the launch title signature Mario Kart WorldWait closest to four hours between the accusations.
Nintendo says that the 5,220-MAH battery can offer up to 6.5 hours of juice, but in my experience nothing has hit that goal. Nintendo aims at the longevity of the battery, although with switch 2 it is not intentionally used rapidly, while the maximum charge can be limited to about 90 percent, both features that help prevent degradation.

Uscascald in line with the console, the Joy-Con 2 feel much more substantial than their predecessors thanks to some intelligent design choices. The spacing and depth of the facial buttons are adapted to the new dimension; The shoulders are longer; And there is a more fluid curve for the envelope in which everyone is in the palm. In the meantime, the SL and SR-I shoulder-induced buttons on the internal crests for when a joy is used as a single controller-sidelines are actually important enough to be useful now.

If connected to the Central Switch 2 console, the magnetic connection seems much more robust than I expected. There is some to give for design, simple micrometers of movement that reduce the financial lever and help prevent accidental damage or detachment. It seems that there are few possibilities to tear a joy 2 by mistake. Instead, a new trigger must deliberately squeeze to force the controller away from the console. This is cleverly positioned to be easily accessible from above but almost impossible to grab in the middle of a game.
Like the original Joy-Cons, there is a series of miniature technical wonders crammed in both handles, although most of the characteristics are, as most of the Switch 2 as a whole, largely repeating what happened before. The movement monitoring controls remain solid, while the upstic feedback – has knocked down HD Rumble 2 – has significantly improved. He responds faster for prompts from a game and is able to more nuanced sensations. They can even vibrate quickly enough to become Ersatz speaker, capable of pumping high sound effects from the controllers themselves. Practical utility? Close to zero. Tech Flex points? Infinite.
The biggest change for the Joy-Con 2S is, of course, the ability to use each one as a mouse. Undoubtedly, it is impressive on a technical level, above all since the sensors carefully drawn the movement on almost all the surfaces that I have tried, from tables and sofa arms to jeans and even carpet (only). However, I’m not yet sold, and after a week with the console at this point, I’m not even sure that Nintendo really is.
