Some other titles I got to see in action were updated versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and Yakuza 0 – both of which big hitters on rival consoles which were deemed too complex to run on the original Switch.
Like the other Switch 2 games, they looked good – and of course they will benefit as the new console, like the original, can play games on the go.
The original Switch created the genre of the hybrid console – one which works on a TV and as a portable system.
But since that launch in 2017, things have changed a bit.
Now, it has a rival in the Steam Deck, a hybrid machine with the power to play most PC games.
Nintendo would say something its rivals don’t have is that long list of exclusive titles.
But there is a bit of a theme here: Nintendo has consciously gone for continuity.
The console is the Switch 2, rather than having a completely new name. Many of those exclusives Nintendo is so proud of are new games in established series, while others are remasters of modern classics.
