Fox on Games takes an insider look at all the new features of the soon-to-be-released Switch 2. New York City – In a bustling event on 5th Avenue that drew over 100 journalists, content creators, and industry insiders, Nintendo made waves by unveiling the much-anticipated Switch 2. The console is set to redefine gaming experiences worldwide, and Fox was there to capture the excitement. The Switch 2 is priced at 450 for the console alone, with an option to purchase a bundled package at 500, which includes the new racer "pack-in" game, Mario Kart World. Nintendo has listened to feedback from the initial Switch release and introduced significant upgrades to the Switch 2's hardware. The Joy-Con controllers now connect via magnets, eliminating the traditional track system. Enhanced with a gyroscope and a new mouse mechanic, players can simulate movement with precision, akin to rolling a ball across the floor.

You've probably seen the acronym "DLSS" appearing in more gaming and tech stories recently. You might know that it's an Nvidia graphics thing, and that it might be coming to the new Nintendo Switch console that's rumored to release later in 2021, according to a report from Bloomberg. But, really, what is it, and why does it matter? DLSS stands for deep learning super sampling, and it's a way for Nvidia's RTX graphics cards to work smarter, not necessarily harder, by running games at a lower resolution, then using dedicated AI cores to improve visual quality with less of the usual performance cost. The deep learning component works on the fly to make your game look as if you haven't lowered its resolution at all.

Get ready for an upgrade, Nintendo fans. The video game company is reportedly planning to update its popular Nintendo Switch console sometime in 2019. The planned upgrade will be the first for the bestselling video game console, first released back in March 2017. Though the console has seen blockbuster sales since its release, they've leveled off in recent months, likely prompting Nintendo to consider revamping the popular console to make it more appealing and boost sales once again. According to the Wall Street Journal, a new version of the Nintendo Switch is currently in the works and is aiming to be released'in the latter half of 2019, perhaps as soon as summer,' according to sources. A Nintendo spokesperson declined to comment about the possible timeframe of the console's upgrade.
