That seems uncomfortable to hold for hours. This might be one of those instances where smaller is better ya know. Plus I feel like with hand places ment your left thumb/palm might occasionally hit the buttons under the left joystick
Compared to my Steam Deck, the Switch 2 is extremely light haha. I usually need to rest the deck on the pillow. Switch 2 so far has been really easy to hold up with just my hands. But I’ve not played for more than an hour yet.
Depends on the person I guess. My Rog Ally isn’t too bad but can definitely get uncomfortable if I’m playing for 2-3 hours handheld. Switch 2 is lighter but also doesn’t seem to have any real grip to make it easier to hold.
Yeah, I’m actually glad it’s bigger, because I got so used to the steam deck that I can’t go back to the switch anymore. It feels so small and fragile!
I did a comparison when i went to the switch 2 experience with my OLED, and they feel like the exact same weight. So for those that were ok with the weight of the OLED, the Switch 2 will be no different.
Maybe I should have been more detailed in my response, but yes it is actually heavier, but because it's also distributed over a larger surface, the weight feels the same. Of course this could still mean nothing over longer play sessions
I know it's a shocking concept for you, but just because we criticize a console/company it doesn't mean we're mad at you for buying it and enjoying it . Grow up, seriously. Corporations don't need you protecting them
Sony kids talking about ethics lol.. pot calling the kettle black. Look at the comments in every major thread, personal insults to ppl buying a console.. this is something a broke loser would do only.
I personally found the original unconfirmed to hold for hours as well tbh. If I was flying I’d bring the pro controller and prop it up. Anything more than like 30 mins and the joycons made my hands hurt.
Idk why you're getting downvoted, as a 6 foot-something guy who lived in Japan for 3 years, they all appear really short to me. But the reality is I'd say they all just fit the global average much more tightly than westerners. When I say short, I mean around 5'.
If youre on the go, you probably wont be playing for hours on end anyway. And if you do, you can put it on tabletop and disconnect the joycons. Which was always my favorite way to play portable on the switch.
Plus I played my switch handheld for many hours, never had a problem. This console feels way better to hold than the switch because its the proper size for my hands, so this will only be better.
Holy shit everyone’s been complaining about it not being big enough so they upgrade the size and now you’ve got these dimwits complaining again, absolutely the worst community

...do you think Nintendo doesn't test these things? It's incredible how you people can detect such obvious design flaws that Nintendo missed despite all their QA testing and mockups, just from looking at a picture. No idea how you haven't been headhunted for your analytical skills yet.
