Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Nintendo Switch 2 has finally been revealed in a somewhat detail-light two minute presentation, showcasing renders of the new hardware, some details on backwards compatibility and a teaser for what may well be Mario Kart 9. John, Rich and Oliver sit down after the reveal and discuss the reveal - along with some intriguing leaks about the clock speeds of the main processor.
Note: When Rich talks about the gulf in GPU performance between handheld and docked modes being higher than Switch 1, that depends on which handheld config is used. According to the leak, Switch 2 docked is 79.5% faster than heldheld. The differential with Switch 1 is anything between 67% faster to 2.5x depending on which mobile profile the developer selects. Switch 2 may well have various profiles too, of course.
