MKBHD explains why Switch 2 Joy-Cons are “so much better” than original

Tech YouTube personality, Marques ‘MKBHD’ Brownlee, has expressed his opinions regarding the upcoming Switch 2 and highlighted one significant improvement he’s particularly excited about on the next-gen hybrid gaming device.

At last, Nintendo unveils the Switch 2, and popular content creators on YouTube are already sharing their firsthand opinions on it after its release.

One of the content creators is Marques Brownlee, who posted his unboxing video at exactly midnight on the console’s release date, which was June 5th.

In the video, he expressed his opinions on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 and highlighted one particular aspect he particularly enjoys about the new gadget.

MKBHD really likes the new Joy-Cons

After taking out the Switch 2 and examining it alongside its predecessor, Brownlee immediately started to play Mario Kart World on tablet mode using the separated Joy-Con 2 controllers.

A short while after, he expressed his feelings regarding the larger, novel controllers. “This is enjoyable,” he stated. “The updated Joy-Cons far surpass the previous ones.

He opted to experiment with using a single Joy-Con, a move typically made when you’re playing the game with someone else.

He expressed that the latest Joy-Cons offer nearly as significant an improvement as the new screen, in his opinion. The larger buttons, overall size increase, and ergonomic design make it a more comfortable gaming experience. Plus, the enhanced haptics significantly elevate gameplay when using a single controller with the updated Joy-Cons.

In a subsequent video, Brownlee intends to delve deeper into the features of the Switch 2 and its accompanying accessories, without providing a specific timeline for when this video will be released.

On the Switch 2, you’ll find Welcome Tour – an interactive guide that walks you through different activities to test out all the fresh functionalities of the new console.

Playing this game offers around six to eight hours of enjoyable content, justifying its $10 price. However, the requirement of costly add-ons to fully experience it diminishes some of the initial enthusiasm.

The game is worth $10 because you get about 6-8 hours of fun. But, you need expensive extras to play it properly, which takes away some of the excitement.
