Shortly after the present’s conclusion, Nintendo up to date its varied regional web sites with extra particulars on the {hardware} and among the console’s new options.

Sadly, it doesn’t sound like all all the things we acquired to listen to about shall be instantly accessible out of the field.

The large Nintendo Swap 2 press launch on Nintendo’s company web site presents a number of extra particulars on a number of of the brand new options coming with the brand new console, comparable to GameChat. Extra importantly, it lists all the key {hardware} specs (although with out specifics).

One factor that stands out, nonetheless, is that two of them won’t be out there out of the field, and can as an alternative require an replace. Nintendo doesn’t say whether or not stated replace shall be out there on day one, or someday after launch.

The primary, and arguably most necessary, is the Swap 2’s potential to assist exterior storage. The upcoming console helps each microSD and microSD Categorical. Nevertheless, as famous throughout the presentation, you’ll solely have the opportunity use the Categorical playing cards to retailer video games.

Sadly, microSD Categorical playing cards won’t be supported instantly.

The opposite Swap 2 function that will even require a system replace to work shouldn’t be as impactful. The web page notes that whereas 3D audio, the encompass sound impact Nintendo confirmed off within the Direct, shall be out there out of the field for headphones/exterior audio system, the Swap 2 would require an replace to allow it for the built-in speaker.

This isn’t a giant deal, seeing as most individuals will both have the console hooked as much as their TVs through HDMI (the Swap 2 helps linear PCM 5.1ch), or use it in handheld mode with headphones.
