Nintendo's Switch 2 got off to a roaring start but demand has started to sag, particularly in the US. Where are the big games to reverse this?

And if you play docked you don’t get much out of the added power for the majority of games. You can get a few upgrade packs (some of which cost money) and a small number of games that require a Switch 2. But otherwise the main difference is better load times.

For handheld they just recently fixed this with a new handheld boost mode where Switch 1 games run in some docked mode simulation, so handheld players do get better performance and resolution out of a Switch 2 (in some cases significantly, there are some Switch 1 games that are borderline unplayable on a Switch 1 in handheld mode). But only as of a couple weeks ago. Literally the feature every handheld player wanted out of a Switch 2, and it took them this long.
