Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller

1 week ago | uk.pcmag.com | Will Greenwald

Just as the Nintendo Switch launched with the Switch Pro Controller to use in lieu of its detachable Joy-Con, the Switch 2 launches with the Switch 2 Pro Controller. Like the Switch 2 to the Switch, the $84.99 Switch 2 Pro Controller is a solid upgrade over its predecessor, with a higher price to match (the original Switch Pro is $69.99).
XReal One Pro

The XReal One elevated the category of AR smart glasses at the beginning of this year with motion tracking and a built-in interface, and the company is taking things further with the XReal One Pro. This step-up model has all of the same features as its slightly older sibling, but with a new micro-OLED projection system that displays the widest field of view I’ve seen in this category.
Sony Bravia Theater Bar 6

1 week ago | uk.pcmag.com | Will Greenwald

I wasn’t impressed by Sony’s ambitious 5.0.2-channel Bravia Theater Bar 9 due to its high price and very weak bass, chalked up to its lack of a subwoofer. The 3.1.2-channel Bravia Theater Bar 6 soundbar ($649.99) addresses both of these issues, shipping with a wireless subwoofer for less than half the price. It’s certainly a better buy than the Theater Bar 9, but it still doesn’t manage to hit the ultra-low frequencies needed for palpable, wall-shaking sound.
RayNeo Air 3s

2 weeks ago | au.pcmag.com | Will Greenwald

For $269, the RayNeo Air 3s video-focused smart glasses deliver vibrant color and value in spades. They have a wide field of view with sharp resolution, though they are only average when it comes to generating brightness and audio. We find them to fit comfortably, but they lack adjustable diopters for those who are nearsighted. The rear-mounted USB port allows them to easily connect to most source devices.

As a Nintendo Switch reviewer and home theater expert, I know how to optimize your television connections and settings to make your Switch 2 games look their absolute best.

Nintendo Switch 2

2 weeks ago | uk.pcmag.com | Will Greenwald

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the highly anticipated follow-up to the brilliant console/handheld hybrid many of us have been using daily for more than eight years. While not a radical departure in concept, it's much more powerful, features a larger and sharper screen, supports 4K and 120Hz gaming, and has Joy-Con 2 controllers that double as mice. On the downside, it costs more at $449.99, requires some visual trade-offs when connecting to a TV, and has unimpressive battery.
Nintendo Charged Me $10 for What Should've Been a Free Demo

3 weeks ago | pcmag.com | Will Greenwald

Switch 2 Welcome Tour feels like a glorified onboarding experience—except it comes with a price tag. Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a game intended to serve as an introductionto the Switch 2's many new features, acting like a museum to show off the Joy-Con 2s' mouse mode and HDR rumble, the screen's 120Hz resolution, the system's 4K TV output, and other upgrades over the first Switch. It's also $10, which is why it's completely doomed at launch.
I Got a Third-Party Nintendo Switch 2 Case Before the Console's Official Release

3 weeks ago | pcmag.com | Will Greenwald

DBrand sent me its upcoming KillSwitch 2 protective case ahead of the system's June 5 launch. These are my initial impressions based on my experience with other DBrand accessories and early Switch 2 demo sessions. The Nintendo Switch 2 hits storefronts this Thursday, June 5, but I got an early look at one of the system's first third-party accessories: The DBrand Killswitch 2.
These 7 Accessibility Features Make the Nintendo Switch 2 Way Easier to Use

3 weeks ago | au.pcmag.com | Will Greenwald

The Nintendo Switch 2 has increased processing power, a larger 120Hz screen, and 4K HDR video. These are arguably its most attractive features, but the console contains many more upgrades than just these. The most helpful? The system has several useful accessibility options to assist people living with audio, visual, motor, or vocal difficulties.
Will Your Favorite Switch 1 Games Work on Switch 2? Here's the Full Breakdown

4 weeks ago | pcmag.com | Will Greenwald

The Switch 2 has near-complete backward compatibility with Switch 1 games, including both cards and digital downloads. However, that compatibility comes with a few caveats, which Nintendo revealed on its Switch 2 game compatibility page. More than 15,000 Switch games, including 122 first-party Nintendo games, have been tested on the Switch 2. Of those, only a single game (more on that below) won't work on the new console.
