The all-new Switch 2, announced a few months ago, is finally available, although not officially in India. However, you can pick one up for under R65,000 from the grey market. I got to spend some quality time with the new Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle, and here is my takeaway. For starters, it still looks iconic and very much feels like a Switch. They have done a good job of balancing the device’s weight, which feels really good in the hands. The dock is also quite solid, and I’m glad Nintendo included the piece of plastic that makes the Joy-Cons a complete controller. 

Turning it on for the first time you will notice the screen is not an OLED. I would have assumed the new Switch came with an OLED at this price point, not the Full HD LCD it has. Fortunately, the screen supports a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz, so you can expect some silky-smooth graphics. The larger 7.9-inch size is also surprisingly comfortable. I am also a bit annoyed that the screen is covered by plastic and not glass, which means you have to be extra careful while travelling and storing it.
