The Switch 2 gives Splatoon 3 a fantastically fresh coat of paint
Charles Pulliam-Moore is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. Splatoon 3 already looked phenomenal on the original Switch, in a way that seemed to defy the console's hardware limitations. The game's paint-slicked visuals were gorgeous, and its chaotic battles were a testament to how well the Switch could run software that was fine-tuned to make the best of its specs. What was most impressive, though, was the way Splatoon 3 kept refreshing itself for years after its initial 2022 release with a steady stream of new clothes, weapons, stages, and a nifty DLC expansion. Splatoon 3 felt like it had reached its zenith on the original Switch — so much so that a full-on sequel seemed like the franchise's logical next step as Nintendo prepared to release the Switch 2. But thanks to an unexpected update, Splatoon 3 plays like a slicker, sleeker, and more modern shooter on the new console. And while the improvements aren't quite as dramatic as what we saw with Fortnite, they're big enough to make Splatoon 3 feel like it's more than capable of holding down the fort while Nintendo focuses on developing whatever's next. While battles within Splatoon 3 have always maxed out at 60fps, the first thing that jumps out about the game post-update is how that high framerate can now also be seen basically everywhere you guide your Inkling character. In the past, nonmatch locations like Splatsville, Inkopolis, and the Grand Festival Grounds never looked bad, per se. But there was a roughness to characters' animations as they walked around and a stiffness to the way the environment moved that made those places feel like they were trying hard to not push the original Switch past its limits. After the new Switch 2 update, which also bumps the game's resolution up, everything in Inkopolis flows with a delightful slickness that makes the place feel alive. Inklings' steps and idling poses are still measured and slow, but there is a gracefulness to them now that made me pay closer attention to people's avatars. And while the update doesn't bring any drastic changes to Splatoon 3 's character models, you can clearly see the fine details of their stylish hypebeast fits and the way light interacts with the glossy, reflective surfaces of their skin. Better-looking NPCs hanging out in lobbies might not seem like a big deal, but it's an important part of the Splatoon experience because of the way most of the characters you see in places like Inkopolis are actually other players' avatars. The added visual polish works to remind you that Splatoon 3 is very much a community-focused game that still has a dedicated playerbase, and as I walked around, it was great seeing so many higher-resolution characters sharing messages about how they were enjoying the update. You can also feel how much more horsepower the Switch 2 is working with in how quickly Splatoon 3 now breezes through its loading screens as you're getting ready to dive into a match. Once you're actually in a battle, you can really start to get a sense of how the update impacts Splatoon 3 's core gameplay on the Switch 2 and why, for people still playing on the original Switch, Nintendo decided to strip out some of the background visual elements in certain competitive modes. On the whole, regular PvP matches ran every bit as well at 60fps as they did on the first Switch, but you can see that background elements in the far off distance, like the jellyfish spectators, now move much more smoothly. It stands to reason that Nintendo chose not to drastically change how Splatoon 3 battles run on the Switch 2 so as not to put players on the original Switch at an unfair disadvantage. That's also probably why, after the update, some of the background elements in the Splat Zones / Tower Control /Rainmaker / Clam Blitz modes have been removed on the first Switch. In my experience, this didn't really change all that much because you're meant to be focused on painting the ground and splatting your enemies. But those changes likely help the Switch dedicate more of its energy to displaying the important things well. Even when there's a horde of enemies swarming in Salmon Run mode, their animations are much, much smoother, which actually makes it easier to keep track of what's going on as matches become more hectic. It was still almost impossible to get my teammates to pull it together when a Horrorboros showed up and started hurling paint bombs at us, but that felt like the sort of issue that might be more easily addressed in a follow-up game that makes use of the Switch 2 's voice chat feature. For both consoles, the update also introduces a slew of remixed weapons. Giving standard weapons, like the Aerospray, different sub-weapons has always been a core part of Splatoon, and the new kits are essentially an invitation to try out your old favorites with a couple of new tricks attached that encourage unique play longtime Splatoon 3 players, everything about the update really serves as a reminder of how much fun the game has always been. But it also feels like Nintendo is making an effort to bring more players into the fold ahead of Splatoon Raiders ' launch. And, as nice as it would have been to have a new Splatoon title for the Switch 2's launch, it's fantastic to see Nintendo making moves that benefit the entire Switch family as a whole.

Review: Switch 2 a significant upgrade, but the extra muscle comes at a cost
TORONTO — Nintendo bet big on innovation when it launched the Switch in 2017. Able to transform seamlessly from a home console to a handheld gaming device, and with an attractive price point, the video game system became a hit. According to Nintendo, the Switch has sold more than 152 million units as of March 31, making it the third-highest-selling console of all time. Eight years later, Nintendo has released the Switch's long-awaited successor. The Switch 2 doesn't break any ground, but packs a lot of extra power — at a price — while retaining what the original did well. Iteration, rather than innovation. With a couple of notable exceptions, the look and feel of the Switch 2 is fundamentally unchanged. The newer system boasts a significantly bigger screen when in handheld mode — 7.9 inches for the Switch 2 compared to 6.2 inches for the original — and the larger, more robust Joy Con controllers use an improved magnetic system when being attached to the sides of the unit. The biggest changes are under the hood, with a more powerful processor and the ability to play games in 4K resolution when the unit is docked and hooked up to a television. While necessary for being able to handle the more resource-intensive games slated for the Switch 2, the upgrade in hardware means a noticeable performance boost when running original Switch games. The extra muscle, however, comes at a cost. The Switch 2 retails at a hefty $630, a roughly 57-per-cent increase over the launch price of the original Switch. The increases don't stop with the hardware. "Mario Kart World," the big draw in the Switch 2's initial lineup of games, is listed at just under $110, about a $20 increase over the average price of a new Triple-A game for the Switch. The price tag is softened somewhat with the option to buy a $700 bundle that includes the system and the new "Mario Kart" game. In fairness, gaming has become a more expensive hobby across the board. In November, Sony launched the PlayStation 5 Pro console, a modest improvement over the original PS5, with the whopping price tag of $960. Those big numbers, however, do not seem to be deterring enthusiasts from opening their wallets. Demand for the Switch 2 has outstripped supply, with Canadian gamers wanting to get their hands on the system lined up at launch parties across the country when it went on sale at midnight ET on June 5. Nintendo said in a recent press release that the Switch 2 sold 3.5 million units worldwide over its first four days, making it the company's fastest-selling console. The Switch 2 is almost completely backwards compatible with the Switch, with most games and controllers working on the new system without issue. A significant exception, however, comes in storage. The Switch 2 uses microSD Express cards for extended storage, which are considerably more expensive than the standard microSD cards compatible with the Switch. This is mitigated somewhat by a far more generous 256 gigabytes of internal storage (224 GB more than the original Switch), but still bad news for any Switch users hoping to use expensive large-capacity microSD cards with the new system. Nintendo has also built improvements to its online experience into the Switch 2. The right Joy Con has an extra button that launches a "Game Chat" feature that allows communication with friends through a built in microphone, which can be upgraded to a video chat with a USB camera sold separately. The feature is free until March 21, 2026, after which a Nintendo Switch Online membership will be required (prices for individual memberships range from $25 to $64 annually). With a new "Mario Kart" game headlining the lineup of launch titles, Nintendo once again leveraged its array of blockbuster intellectual properties to sell a new system out of the gate. There is no other place to go to play in the immensely popular "Super Mario" and "Legend of Zelda" universes. But when it comes to third-party support, Nintendo's less powerful systems have lagged behind Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox units for some time. That could be changing. One of the best games at launch is a port of the resource-intensive game "Cyberpunk 2077." The Switch 2 version performs very well in both docked and undocked modes, serving as an example of what the new console is capable of. And there are more intriguing ports on the way, including the 2022 megahit "Elden Ring." The Switch 2's draw will undoubtedly be its catalogue of exclusive games, and it's unlikely to become the third-party console of choice for high-end technophiles who are looking for top frame rates and peak graphical performance. But if Nintendo has closed the gap to the point where the differences in performance are less noticeable to the average gamer, then it will have gone a long way to neutralizing the original Switch's main disadvantage.

PS5 Finally Has More Players Than PS4, Almost Five Years After Launch
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The current console generation has been a bit different than those that came before. While previous generations have seen releases for older consoles gradually discontinued, the current generation still sees a lot of high-profile games get PS4 versions, despite PS5 being far more powerful. A PS5 on display A PS5 on display Photo byWe finally have a sense of why that is, as in a new business report from Sony, it has been revealed that the PS5 has more monthly players for the first time since the console's launch in November 2020, as reported by VGC. This is a step up from last year, where a similar report showed that the PS5 to PS4 monthly player ratio was an almost perfect 50/50 split at 49 million players each. A slide from Sony showing a graph of PS5 vs PS4 monthly players and their spend per console. A slide from Sony showing a graph of PS5 vs PS4 monthly players and their spend per console. Sony There are a lot of possible reasons behind this. Some critics say that Sony's lineup of PS5 exclusive titles has been weaker than previous generations, with plenty of PS4 versions of games, meaning older players don't feel the need to make the upgrade. Price is also a potential issue, as both games and consoles are getting more expensive as time goes on, with Sony most recently releasing the PS5 Pro at an eye-watering price point of $699.99, and prices are only expected to go up as we approach the PS6 in the next few years. Either way, Sony is viewing a multi-generational player base as a positive, as CEO and SIE president Hideaki Nishino explained during the presentation, "We now have a large ecosystem of highly engaged players across both the PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 4 generations, so naturally, therfore, there's a huge interest in our next generation console strategy." This gives the impression that even when the PS6 does get revealed, Sony still has every intention of continuing to invest in the PS5, and possibly even the PS4 as well.
