The Nintendo Switch 2 was officially released this Thursday, June 5, 2025. Many players got their hands on it and tried it out, playing Mario Kart World, Pokémon Scarlet and Purple, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Some of them tested the difference between the console's loading times and those of the Nintendo Switch. The results are clear.
A world between the two Nintendo Switch 2
Even in its time, the Nintendo Switch was technically dated. A console whose catalog is attractive enough to attract customers, but which has constantly suffered from its technological delay. 8 years after the release of the first Nintendo Switch, a new console was more than necessary. In addition to the new games on the Switch 2, Nintendo's latest is above all an opportunity to rediscover titles previously released on Switch.
Titles like Pokémon Scarlet and Purple notably received free upgrades, while Kirby and the Forgotten World and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom benefit from paid Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades. Many players are rediscovering past titles and comparing their performance with that of the original Switch. Luckily, comparisons have already been posted online, giving us the opportunity to discover how much the player experience has improved.
In the case of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the loading time is improved by 15 seconds. 23 seconds for Hogwarts Legacy, 46 seconds for Fortnite, 11 seconds for Scarlet and Violet, the conclusion is clear. While the Switch 2 is undeniably lacking new games for its launch, it must be admitted that the technical improvement is pleasing.
Some players will undoubtedly regret having discovered their games on Nintendo Switch, when the Switch 2 now exists. At the same time, between Tears of the Kingdom and Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, there is a world of difference. Many videos from cheerful fans are popping up online, revealing their excitement at discovering the games in a new light. It remains to be seen what the Nintendo Switch 2 will have in store for us next.
