Here's how the Nintendo Switch 2 compares to Valve's Steam Deck, including a closer look at specs, features, and games for both gaming handhelds.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 is official. We’veseen a video reveal of the final design, teasing a more thorough announcement in April. And across the platform fence, the Steam Deck and its many imitators in the PC handheld space have never been hotter.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been revealed, although the information is still thin. But there's one thing we do know: It looks like a larger version of the existing Switch. You might find it underwhelming.

This is actually a feature of the Lenovo Legion Go, rather than the Steam Deck. But the Steam Deck is a better handheld than the Legion Go, and since the Switch 2’s lack of improvised mouse sensors make it worse than the Legion Go, that means it’s also worse than the Steam Deck.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launches into a very different world than the original. Will it succeed against handheld rivals, or be looked down on for its exclusivity?

Nintendo didn't showcase a game lineup with its Switch 2 reveal, so this wishlist represents a fraction of the titles we hope will be available on day one.
