Talking Point: Is The Switch 2 Going To Be Too Big?
The potential size of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 inspires mixed opinions.
As rumors and leaks about the Nintendo Switch 2 continue to surface, a major point of discussion is its projected size. Described by accessory maker Dbrand with dimensions of 270mm wide and 116mm tall, it is larger than the current Switch OLED but remains smaller than the Steam Deck. This size increase provokes conversation on whether it enhances usability or compromises portability.
Opinions vary, with some welcoming the larger form as it might offer better ergonomics, especially for players with larger hands, while others miss the compact nature of the Switch Lite or even older Nintendo handhelds like the DS or GBA. A larger screen is generally seen as a positive for accessible gaming, but there’s a wish for a smaller, portable version reminiscent of past models.
Polls reflect divided opinions: 46% consider the reported dimensions ideal, 36% find it possibly too large, and a noteworthy portion hopes for a Lite version. Overall, the community remains active in discussing how the Switch 2's size will fit within current gaming lifestyles, balancing advanced features with the desire for true portability.
