Introduction:
Back in 2017, i was allowed playtesting of the first Switch prior to release. A small room, Nintendo had a minimal footprint.

Now its 2025. Called The Nintendo Switch 2 Experience, i once again was allowed playtesting prior to release. (I write for a very small game site.)

Since Switch 2 talk ratio is high, why not do an AMA. I also was able to talk to a tech guy from CD Projekt and Nintendo.

Games played:

• Cyberpunk 2077 (Handheld, Quality mode, and Docked, Quality mode, Pro controller)
• Hogwarts Legacy (Docked, Pro controller)
• Mario Party Jamboree (Docked, Mouse),
• Mario Kart World (Handheld and Docked)
• Yakuza 0 (Docked, Pro controller)
• Mario Party Jamboree TV (Docked, Nintendo Camera)
• Sreet Fighter 6 (Docked)
• Kirby & The Forgotten Land (Docked, Joycon controller)
• Donkey Kong Bananza (Docked, Joycon controller)
• Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Joycons, Docked performance mode)
• Nintendo Switch 2 World Tour

Ask me anything!

Does street fighter 6 have subsurface scattering?

[bender]

If God were a chicken, would you eat eggs?

 

[Hookshot]

Do you think an average thrower could throw it over a house?

 

[diffusionx]

which of these games impressed you graphically and which games did not? Did the controller system etc seem well built unlike the switch 1? How was the screen compared to switch 1 lcd and oled?

[Rocco Schiavone]

Any sign of a 60fps performance mode on Cyberpunk?

 

[Mister Wolf]

How was Donkey Kong's image quality on the TV. Was it running at 1080p?

 

[Bond007]

I need to see responses to all the above asap.
Especially the cheeks one.

 

[Matsuchezz]

I heard that the demos are running on switch 2 devkits and that they do not let you hold them. They only let people hold the actual switch 2 at the end of the event.

 

[Matsuchezz]

Did Nintendo split your cheeks?

They are splitting everybody's cheeks with those prices.

 

[spookyfish]

Would you eat the moon if it were made of spare ribs?

 

[RoadHazard]

What is this "Mario Kart 8 World" I hear about?

 

[kevboard]

is the Dpad of the Pro Controller still garbage or did they change it?

 

[readonly]

I've heard Hogwarts looks really bad image quality wise. What's your thoughts?

 

[Diseased Yak]

Pro Controller impressions, please!

 

[Stafford]

Yo,

I'm guessing you didn't see it docked? Because I do not care for handheld gaming. If you did, how does it look on a big TV?

 

[GigaBowser]

games at experience were OLD BUILD much improve

 

[Shaki12345]

Any sign of a 60fps performance mode on Cyberpunk?

30/40 only.

 

[tkscz]

Did you get to use the Pro controller? If so are the analog sticks smooth?

 

[Bitstream]

How smooth did handheld cyberpunk quality mode feel?

 

[GigaBowser]

only third parties games from experience run good SF6 annnnnnnd Yakuza rest ancient build buuuuuuuuuuut keep beeing optermized

 

[MDSLKTR]

Are the new sticks worth the hype? Actual floating feeling?

 

[MoreJRPG]

How noticeable is the menu jank in Donkey Kong?

 

[_Ex_]

Did you have to pay $9.99 to playtest it?

 

[fallingdove]

only third parties games from experience run good SF6 annnnnnnd Yakuza rest ancient build buuuuuuuuuuut keep beeing optermized

Thank god you swooped in to save the thread with your context. The narrative just about went off the rails.

 

[GigaBowser]

How noticeable is the menu jank in Donkey Kong?

goord buuuut flips from 60 to 30 in map will bee way better at lunch

 

[Walter Matthau]

Did the version of Cyberpunk you played still have the "old build" warning from the other events?

 

[Jinxed]

Describe the smell.

I've actually experienced it from all the middle aged men at gamestop when I picked my clair obscur copy and it was switch 2 pre-order day. It was awful

 

[alf717]

Pro Controller impressions, please!

Need to know about that D-Pad! Is it better than the Switch Pro D-Pad?

 

[Fahdis]

Were you touched softly and lovingly on the shoulders by the Nintendo Reps when you were playing? If so, did the moment make you moist?

 

[Boo Who?]

goord buuuut flips from 60 to 30 in map will bee way better at lunch

They are getting a new build out at lunch? Cool!

 

[GigaBowser]

Did the version of Cyberpunk you played still have the "old build" warning from the other events?

[Bitstream]

Thank god you swooped in to save the thread with your context. The narrative just about went off the rails.

... the moment he sees 'switch' in the title

 

[rodrigolfp]

IQ of exclusive games on handheld mode was good?

 

[RoboFu]

What are wearing?

 

[thief183]

How much delays does it have? Switch 1 is unbearable, the delay between an input and the result on screen feels like half a second.

 

[Fbh]

If 1000 people attended the event.
And out of those 1000 people:
- 50% said they showered once last month
- 60% said they plan to shower once this month
- 30% said they showered once last month and plan to shower once this month
- The rest doesn't believe in showers (or deodorant )

How many people did not shower last month and don't plan to shower this month either?

 

[Thebonehead]

Do the cartridges still taste horrible or so they have cheese and onion flavour now?

 

[GigaBowser]

... the moment he sees 'switch' in the title

went to event pal talked to staff play all games

 

[Thebonehead]

What types of loading screens can I expect with Mario Kart World?

edit-or are loading screens an issue with any game?

Was everything off carts or memory card? As above interesting to hear load times.
