Nintendo Switch 2 First Impressions: The Devil You Know
Nintendo Switch 2 I've owned a Switch 2 for exactly three days now, and if the initial experience has taught me anything, it's the clear difference between good and interesting. While those terms aren't mutually exclusive, they probably are for Nintendo's new console, at least (to this writer) for the time being. It took me ages to finally track down Nintendo's follow-up to the Switch, and last week, late one night—while disappointingly sober, mind you—I bought the Mario Kart World bundle from Target's cursed website. With my own salt mine wages, no less. Are there more versatile and more powerful handheld gaming options available? Oh yes, yes indeed. But…Mario, though. And Peach. And that weird little Yoshi dog, too. What's its name? Smoochy? Whatever, man. My point is: You won't find first-party Nintendo magic on a ROG Ally X or a Lenovo Legion Go. Not legally, anyway. Here's the stark truth: The Switch 2 is very good, predictably good, boringly good, even. And from my present vantage point, that's the biggest drawback so far. Or maybe… it's the Switch 2's greatest strength? A complicated matter, yes. Like meaning and love and the argument for the best Pepsi flavor. (It's cherry) FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Déjà Vu For Switch 2 Boys (and girls), I think we've been here before. The Switch 2 is an upgraded Switch 1 that can theoretically output 4K/60fps/HDR visuals in select games when docked (up to 120Hz in stuff like Fast Fusion, if update rumblings are to be believed), has a bigger 1080p HDR-capable portable display, and sports larger, improved Joy-Cons that aren't only for tiny children. But foundationally, it's still a Switch, through and through, for better and for worse. Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World I'm far from the first person to utter such blasphemy, that Nintendo's approach to the Switch 2 has been less than exciting or innovative. Hell, even Nintendo undoubtedly knows its newest console doesn't break much new ground, especially when compared to the likes of the motion-controlled Wii, the 3D-pioneering N64 or even the original hybrid-centric Switch. Playing it safe is likely by design, especially if you've sold the amount of Switch and Switch 2 consoles Nintendo has to date. If you're smart, you don't fix what isn't broken. You subtly enhance. You tweak. You carefully iterate. And for someone who lived through the Dreamcast's legendary 9/9/99 launch, how annoying I find this strategy. Where's my VMU equivalent? Where's my ground-breaking SegaNet service? I guess there are simply less amazing surprises in gaming in 2025—I fear we've already experienced them all. Mouse Trap Yeah, with the Switch 2, you've got the added Joy-Con 2 mouse functionality, which borders on compelling and has a lot of potential. I've played around with this alternative control option a little bit, and I like it a lot. It's cool and quirky and undeniably Nintendo, but since I don't own a copy of the controversial Welcome Tour, I've only been able to use it on the Switch 2's main menu, desktop PC-style. Beyond sheer novelty, though, all the mouse feature has managed to do is make me long for another Mario Paint, and I consider it a crime against gamers everywhere that this machine didn't launch with a long-awaited follow-up. MP might be my most-played SNES title, now that I think about it. It literally never got old. But also, my brain hadn't fully developed, so take that with a grain of salt (from the mines—see above). Pokémon Legends: Z-A But come on, Nintendo. You have mice literally built into the Switch 2 controllers. Total missed opportunity here, although for all I know, there could be another Mario Paint in development. If there is, I'll be there day one, and I finally can stop complaining. In the meantime, I guess there's always DK Artist to mess around with. DK Artist is an extra mode in GOTY contender Donkey Kong Bananza, a supposedly stellar game that helps prove out the the contention of this article, which is: Hardware doesn't need to be flashy or cutting-edge to deliver excellent software. The legacy Switch proved this time and time again, and given enough runway, I think the Switch 2 will as well. Yay And Nay The Switch 2 hardware feels obviously premium, utterly dull, and oddly comforting in a way that remains wildly confusing to me. I don't think I've ever been so incredibly underwhelmed by a brand new console, yet continually impressed at the same time. The PS5 Pro exists in the same baffling category, so perhaps this is simply an indication that most future gaming consoles will feel similarly, disappointingly, dependably same-y. That said, I like that the dock seems of a higher quality, and the more substantial Joy-Con 2's—paired with the bigger display of the Switch 2 itself—make playing in portable mode more appealing than on the Switch 1. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond I have large hands, and as hard as I tried, I could never get comfortable with the original Joy-Cons. The feel of the Joy-Con 2 controllers is definitely improved, most notably the thumbsticks with their extra surface area, and how they magnetically snap into the Switch 2 slab. Satisfying! Still, I prefer using traditional, less-cramped gamepads, like the excellently refreshed Pro 2 Controller. Additionally, the physical game card slot is now easier to open thanks to a helpful divot, and I dig the inclusion of a top-facing USB-C port, which is great for passively charging random accessories, simultaneously charging the console, or plugging in a wired controller while in battery-powered tabletop mode. Honestly, I'm determined to attach an eGPU to this thing through the top USB-C port at some point—5090 Switch 2 gaming?! Lastly, I installed Lexar's 1TB microSD Express card on my Switch 2, which nicely expanded the included 256GB of system storage. You need to use Express cards on the Switch 2, by the way. Older microSD cards aren't compatible. It's-A-Me, Hardware Boost! The Switch 2's UI is noticeably faster than the Switch's, especially when browsing the store or NSO, and that's a godsend. Mario Kart World, even in 1440p, looks fantastic, and it's rather obvious you'd never be able to run it on a legacy Switch. That Wave Race water, though! Wipeout homage Fast Fusion plays like a dream at 4K/60fps and shows off what the system is capable of. Cyberpunk 2077 runs surprisingly well. GameCube games on NSO run pretty well, too, and I bought a GameCube controller on Nintendo's store to fully and authentically partake. More on all these titles in a future article. NSO GameCube controller I will say that games utilizing HDR look a tad washed out when docked and outputting to (in my case) a 4K monitor, but apparently this is a widespread issue, and I'll look into fixing it this week when I have some time. Not a huge deal, but irksome, nonetheless. Moreover, the Switch 2 reduces load times across the board for many older games, and I've grown to really appreciate this aspect of the hardware. Animal Crossing may as well be a new game with how quickly it loads on the current hardware. I also booted up Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, which has pretty short load times to begin with, and on the Switch 2, load times are practically nonexistent. This means you can watch me in the game's Crocumentary instantly. I did additionally check out the upgrades for Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom (turns out they're 'free' if you're an NSO subscriber) and while they're running at an upscaled 1440p and not at native 4K on my docked Switch 2, the stable 60fps gameplay makes these titles immeasurably more playable by today's gaming standards. There's no going back to the 30fps Switch versions, that's for sure. I think my loudest complaint with the Switch 2 hardware is the arguably inferior LCD screen. While thankfully larger and totally serviceable in regular gameplay situations, it ultimately feels like a technological step backward. I got quite accustomed to my Switch's rich OLED display over the years and I really miss those deep, dark OLED blacks on the newer Switch 2 screen. I'm sure a Switch 2 OLED is coming in the next few years, so I understand why Nintendo is holding back here. I'll no doubt buy that version too, damn it. Accessory to a Shrine The new Pro Controller, which I bought alongside the Mario Kart World bundle, might be the best controller I've ever used. This is coming from someone who still worships the original Pro gamepad as some kind of false idol. Sony's DualSense still places a close second to both editions of the Pro, but the Switch 2 Pro is a peripheral masterpiece, minus its admittedly dry, unpleasant texture. I can't describe it any other way; the feel of it skeeves me out, although I do forget about it after a few rounds of MKW. Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller The thumbsticks are pure butter and have just the right amount of tension. The d-pad is nice and springy, as are the chunky face buttons, though I'd prefer a touch more travel in the ZL and ZR triggers. The Pro 2 adds two programmable back handle buttons this time around, GR and GL, plus a C button on the front of the controller that triggers Nintendo's new GameChat feature. I didn't buy a Switch 2 camera, unfortunately, and I also don't typically chat online, so I didn't test this feature. Switched On, Switched Off Ultimately, my first impression of the Switch 2 is one of slightly disenchanting familiarity, but it's somehow okay, because in the end, I'm dealing with the devil I know. Would I have preferred a higher resolution OLED display right out of the gate? Yes. Beefier internals? Sure. Innovation that wow'd me at a childlike level of wonder and awe? Absolutely. Donkey Kong Bananza But Nintendo isn't trying to reinvent the wheel with the Switch 2. It's delivering, in the most conservative way possible, a modestly leveled-up continuation of its past success. We're cool with the lack of forward design progress because we've been conditioned to accept Nintendo's successfully stubborn approach to technological change. It just works. As I've labeled it in the system menu, the Mitch Switch 2 will still get plenty of playtime, even if this generational leap has been more of a respectable hop. Maybe, just maybe, this will refocus gamers' attention on what actually matters: Fun. Sony and Microsoft and the PC world can keep playing the cutting-edge hardware competition while Nintendo luxuriates in its bizarre boutique silo, unbothered, moisturized, in its lane, consistently content with winning its own solo race. Is the Switch 2 good? Yes, resoundingly. Is it interesting? Well, not right now, but it might be getting there. We'll see.

'The Boys' season 5 just got a special Comic-Con preview — and people are losing their minds
"The Boys" season 5 wasn't supposed to be a headliner at San Diego Comic-Con this year. But when fans in attendance at a "Gen V" Hall H panel got a special sneak preview of the show's final season, it stole the show. We haven't been able to find leaked footage of the preview — a shock in its own right — but outlets such as Deadline and users on X (Twitter) were quick to react to the teaser. Here's a breakdown of what happened. Per those in attendance, there are a few big reveals that Eric Kripke and company showed off in the season 5 teaser. First, Homelander (Antony Starr) is in full fascist mode. He is now the leader of the U.S. in all but name, and during the sneak preview, he addresses a crowded room, saying to those watching that, "This is a safer, more God-fearing nation." Then, the teaser focused largely on some familiar faces. The Boys team is seen reuniting to prepare for a final showdown against Homelander. In between all the blood and gore, fans also reported getting a look at Ashley Barrett (Colby Minifie) reacting to something off-screen that seemingly unsettled her. It's unclear what exactly she saw. Finally, the teaser hinted at some new faces joining the show. We already knew that "Supernatural" alumni Misha Collins and Jared Padalecki appear on-screen together with the latter reprising their role as Soldier Boy, and fans in attendance at the "Gen V" panel got to see a shot of them on screen together during the sneak preview for "The Boys." But we learned that Seth Rogen will appear in an undisclosed role in the show's final season. Of course, this season 5 teaser was shown at a "Gen V" panel, so we did get some updates on the second season of that spin-off as well — including a new SDCC trailer for "Gen V" season 2. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 30-day free trial for Amazon Prime! Why pay for Prime Video when it's included with Amazon Prime? Try it free for 30 days. These shows are now firmly tied to each other, and the trailer only hammered this point home. In the trailer, Starlight (Erin Moriarty) is convincing Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) to return to Godolkin University to stop a sinister program called 'Project Odessa,' which has ties to the university's founder, Thomas Godolkin (Ethan Slater). But she's not the only "The Boys" star to make an appearance in the trailer. Nathan Mitchell also appears as Black Noir II. To see fully how the shows tie in together, you'll have to check out "Gen V" season 2 on Prime Video on Sept. 17 and then tune into "The Boys" season 5 when it arrives some time next year.

Tom's Guide Awards 2025: Our favorite fitness watches, smart rings, workout headphones and more
Whether you want to prioritize your health or improve your fitness, there are plenty of excellent devices, products, and services to help make living an active lifestyle easier, and we've tried the best ones out there. From top-rated workout machines, fitness-tracking smartwatches, and useful apparel like running shoes and outerwear, to electric bikes for your adventures, there's never been more ways to enhance your health and fitness journey. Our team of experts has tested and reviewed the latest workout and outdoor gear for the Tom's Guide Awards 2025. Below, we highlight the fitness and health products—from headphones to running shoes, hiking boots, or workout apps—that we hold in high esteem and think are really worth the money. As the primary smartwatch tester here at Tom's Guide, I have a giant plastic bin filled with loaner wearable review units. However, of the 25 or so devices in there — from the Apple Watch Ultra to the Fitbit Inspire 3 — there's only one I know for sure will be charged up and ready to roll at any given moment, and that's the Garmin Instinct 3. The Instinct series has always been Garmin's longest-lasting, built with outdoor adventurers in mind, and this sporty, colorful model tracks all your favorite adrenaline-pumping activities, from rock climbing to downhill mountain biking to backcountry skiing. It also sports an ever-handy LED 'Torch' flashlight built in, rock-solid location and elevation tracking, and more water resistance than even Jacques Cousteau could need. Did I mention that the non-solar model lasts for up to 26 days per charge, and the Solar model can technically last forever with enough sunlight? Now you know. It's not your typical fitness tracker — it doesn't have a screen for one thing, but smart rings are becoming one of the most popular ways to discreetly track everything from your daily steps to how well you've slept, and the Oura Ring 4 is the best of the best. It's thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the Oura Ring 3, as the sensors are recessed into the ring, which we found made the ring more comfortable to wear. The Oura Ring 4 has 18 total data collection paths through your finger and is the most reliable in real-time, resulting in greater accuracy with fewer gaps. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Compared to other smart rings on the market, the Oura app breaks all your data down in an easy-to-understand way, helping you make smarter decisions when it comes to your health. It's compatible with Natural Cycles for menstrual cycle tracking and has a pregnancy mode for expectant mothers. It's an impressive wearable, and in our eyes, it's worthy of a Tom's Guide award. Garmin's Forerunner range has always been spectacular, but it's hit new heights with the launch of the Forerunner 970 earlier this year. It is the best sports watch available for runners and triathletes, offering an upgraded design that's more attractive and durable than its predecessor, the Forerunner 965, earning it the award for the best running watch in 2025. During testing, we were impressed by the reliably accurate tracking and detailed training insights that go beyond what we've seen before from a watch. The Garmin Forerunner 970 is an outstanding sports watch, and the only one that can really best it is the Garmin Fenix 8, which offers a more durable metal design and longer battery life. However, the Forerunner 970 is cheaper, and many will prefer the lighter, slimmer design, especially now that it includes a sapphire screen and built-in flashlight, features that were reserved for the Fenix line in the past. Worthy of a Tom's Guide award, this is the best Garmin on the market for runners right now. Beats' redesigned Powerbeats Pro 2 workout headphones have comfortable over-ear hooks and pack the same tech as Apple's AirPods Pro 2. Plus, they have physical buttons, which is a winner for runners with sweaty fingers. They're versatile, work with Android and iPhone, and sound great, making them worthy of this award. The company leaned heavily into the buds' heart rate monitor at launch. It's neat, but you'll probably never use it. There's a small optical sensor built into the buds that is used to track your heart rate during workouts. The Powerbeats Pro 2 look super slick as well, thanks to their svelte design, and their ten-hour battery life will get you through a trip to the gym or a run without any problems at all. The Bob and Brad M7 Plus Mini massage gun received 4 stars during testing because it's the perfect budget-friendly option for most people. It has a max speed of 3,000 RPM and an amplitude of 9mm, so it can reach pretty deep into sore muscles. Yes, the speed range could be better (the lowest setting is 2,000 RPM), but for your money, you really can't go wrong. We tested all 5 head attachments and the heated head setting, all of which worked wonderfully. And, for its mini stature, this machine sure packs one heck of a punch. The Asics Novablast 5 is a fantastic running shoe that'll appeal to a wide variety of runners thanks to its comfortable ride and relatively low price tag. It's got a great amount of versatility, with enough cushioning to keep you comfortable on long runs and easy miles, but enough of a snap to cope with faster speed sessions. If you only want to invest in one running shoe, this is a good place to start. If you're a faster runner, the Novablast 5 is a very good daily trainer that will work well as part of a rotation with a faster shoe for workouts and racing. Compared to the Novablast 4, with the newer shoe Asics has made tweaks to the upper, midsole, and outsole — the reduced heel bevel makes the shoe smoother underfoot for heel strikers, and the new midsole foam is a tad softer without being unstable or mushy underfoot. The Asics Novablast 5 is comfortable and affordable, making it the perfect pick for a Tom's Guide award. It could easily get you around your first marathon, and as a team, we've clocked hundreds of miles in this shoe and we're still impressed. Timberland doesn't technically advertise this rugged pair of footwear as a 'hiking boot,' rather, a 'hiking sneaker.' However, the Timberland Motion Access Mids, look and handle just like a pair of modern hiking boots… and I've tested many of the best pairs. There's one caveat, though. While even the best hiking boots require some break-in period, these puppies don't. Case and point, I hit the trail my first time rocking them, which goes against everything I've learned as an avid granola eater, but made it through an epic trek in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge with zero foot pain. Reliably waterproof — I've also hiked in torrential downpours with not a drop penetrating — and super grippy, the Timberland Motion Access Mids are my favorite trail-ready footwear option in 2025. Patagonia is synonymous with hefty price tags, and the new Nano-Air Ultralight Jacket, with a cost of $249, is no exception. That said, in my months of testing, this mind-blowingly featherlight insulating layer/piece of outerwear is well worth the cost. Sure, it was originally designed for rock climbers, with an abrasion-resistant exterior, easy roll-up sleeves, and a notably unrestrictive design featuring plenty of stretch, but you don't need to be an extreme athlete to appreciate it. I wear mine while walking the pup, hitting the airport, and running errands. It's also super breathable, thanks to a double-knit polyester material under the arms. Yet, despite weighing just eight ounces, I've found that the Nano-Air Ultralight is capable of keeping me warm and cozy in temps down to forty-five degrees Fahrenheit. Best of all? Patagonia stands behind its jackets with lifetime repairs and replacements. Runna has taken the running world by storm since launching in 2021, and after clocking up some big milestones and personal records using the app ourselves, it's earned our vote for best workout app in this year's Tom's Guide Awards. But it's not just about the PR's. Runna offers flexible, personalized training plans for every kind of runner, whether you're training for a faster 5K, your first marathon, or even an ultramarathon. You simply choose your goal, timeframe and current fitness level, and the app builds a tailored plan to get you there. Alongside the running, it also includes mobility sessions, strength training and recovery advice to help keep you injury-free and your progress on the up. Runna keeps improving, too, with new features, updates, and expert input added regularly. It's everything you need from a running coach, all in one easy-to-use app on your phone. It's rare that you'd find a set of adjustable dumbbells that you'd happily pay more for, but there's where we're at with the LifePro PowerFlow Plus. Plastic storage tray aside, these feel like premium dumbbells you'd get from a brand like BowFlex or NordicTrack but for around half the price. The adjustment mechanism is easy and quick (it's a slider), they run up to 25 lbs per weight (they come as a pair) and the knurled handle is easy to grip with a sweaty hand or for two-handed moves like triceps skull crushers. They're easily the best budget adjustable dumbbells you can buy right now, and the biggest compliment we can give is that the weights just get out of your way, so you can focus on your workout. Segway took what was one of the best scooters for long distance and made it even better. The Max G3 improves upon its predecessor in every way: It has a better design, it's faster (up to 28 MPH, and it can travel further (up to 50 miles). The suspension has been improved — front and rear shock absorbers — as well as the handling. The motor? Superb. I was able to roar up hills with ease. And, when I finally got to my destination, a handy U-shaped bar made it easy to lock this scooter up. As if that wasn't enough, it's also outfitted with Apple FindMy and has an electronic lock and siren to help keep thieves at bay. It's not the smallest nor the lightest, but if you need an electric scooter that can go the distance, this is it. For the vast majority of riders, the Rad Power RadCity 5 Plus will be the best electric bike. It has a comfortable design, plenty of power, and a multitude of mounting points for things such as baskets and child seats. The RadCity 5 Plus offers plenty of power, and comes with lights, fenders, a rear rack for your gear and plenty of optional accessories. We found it responsive and powerful enough to easily tackle hills. It's pretty heavy at 64 pounds, but that should only be an issue if you try to go farther than its 55-mile range. Rad Power says that the RadCity5 should get upwards of 50+ miles on a charge; in our testing, it came fairly close — about 40 miles. It's a seriously good electric bike, whether you're commuting or heading out on a weekend adventure. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.
