Alright, so imagine you’re sitting there thinking, "What next?" and bam! Here’s the Switch 2 — like, not just any upgrade, but the upgrade, you know? It’s like they took the old Nintendo Switch and added some magic dust. Anyway, if you’re into Breath of the Wild or that new Tears of the Kingdom thing, which, let’s be real, who isn’t — you’ve probably noticed how epic they were. So yeah, I already loved them, but playing them on the Switch 2? Mind = Blown.
I remember back in 2017 — seems like ages ago, huh? — Breath of the Wild was like, “Hey, look at me!” Then, Tears of the Kingdom comes in 2023 and swipes our hearts again. Still, they had those annoying little quirks, like stubbornly long loading screens. But now, it’s like watching your favorite movie on a smoother, shinier screen. You’d kind of think, “Could it get any better?” Spoiler: It can. Seriously though, they shaved those load times down, which was a much-needed makeover if you ask me.
Why am I talking, er, ranting about this? Well, I ran these actual tests — and not just once, five times! It’s science, or something. Tried it on the classic Switch OLED and compared it with the new Switch 2. Let me tell you, the boot-up is so quick, it’s like the game is already playing in anticipation. Whether it’s saving, reloading, or just hopping around in the game world, it feels… lighter, if that makes sense?
And just so you know, the Switch 2 totally schools the old version in speed. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom? Yeah, load times halved. No joke — especially Tears of the Kingdom. It’s like that game was born to run on Switch 2. Why’s that? Maybe they sprinkled better optimization magic over it.
Oh, and if you’re curious, we haven’t even tested the original versions on this beast yet, but if the new editions are any sign, it’s gonna be bonkers. That brings me back to those shiny new editions — they just feel right, more alive. If you’ve ever thought about wandering around Hyrule and wondered when to dive in, I’m telling you, the time is now. But hey, fair warning, it might mean coughing up ten extra bucks per game or getting that fancy Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion thing. But if you’re asking me — and, well, I guess you are since you’re here — it’s totally worth it on the Switch 2.
