Nintendo shared a fix for Switch 2 consoles that have an issue where the battery charge indicator and the actual charge don't match.

While a Switch 2 Pro controller costs $85, third-party devices are often much more affordable. Gizmodo received a bounty of controllers from multiple manufacturers for review, including several devices from 8BitDo and Gulikit specifically to test them on the Switch 2.

Right out of the box, it's clear that the Switch 2 is going to be a premium experience. It feels sturdy and solid in the hand, the display is big and beautiful, and the new magnetic mechanism for attaching the Joy-Con controllers is very satisfying.

If repair costs announced by Nintendo Japan are any indication, US buyers in need of a fix will pay much more than they did for the original Switch.

Nintendo says only USB-C cameras are compatible with the new Switch 2, but many users have found evidence to the contrary.

You can't simply go to the My Nintendo Store and buy the Switch 2. To order the Switch 2, you need to log in with an active, paid Nintendo Switch Online account. Once you do that, you can choose either a Switch 2 standalone console or the Mario Kart World bundle and then hit the confirm button to "register your interest" in ordering a Switch 2.
