The Nintendo Switch 2 was released earlier this year, and for many gamers, buying the console straight away might not have been financially viable. Now could be the time, as Argos has dropped the price of the Switch 2 to the lowest we've seen so far. Dropping to £409.99 to be exact. It may not sound like a huge discount but this console is rarely on sale, and now cheaper than its initial £429.99 launch price . The bundle includes the newest Mario Kart: World. So, Switch fans won't have anything to play when they pick it up, thanks to its backwards compatibility, it also works with previous Switch games . The Nintendo Switch 2 has a bunch of new hardware, including new Joy-Cons, improved specs so games look and run faster, a better 1080p screen and a new and improved dock. There's also a bunch of new games to play and some upcoming to eagerly wait for, including Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Metroid Prime 4 and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. The PS5 Pro might be perfect for PS5 fans who need more power. It can be bought for £699.99 from Very with the newest FC 26 included. For those who want a more handheld option, there's the newest ROG Xbox Ally X for £799 . Which is ideal for handheld PC gamers. Gaming experts reviewed the Switch 2 on release , and they were pretty impressed with the performance and the new design. Gaming editor Nathan Bliss from the Daily Mirror said: "Nintendo hasn't tried anything wild, revolutionary or out of the ordinary with the Switch 2 when considering the wider gaming landscape, but can you really criticise for that? "There have been plenty of risks that haven't worked for Nintendo. The Wii U's gimmicky GamePad, the Virtual Boy's eye-straining 3D graphics. "Controversially, the GameCube's proprietary mini-DVDs didn't exactly take off either. If there are no games you feel compelled to play on Switch 2, you probably don't truly need one right now. "But considering its performance potential and what it could deliver in future, not just with Nintendo titles, but third-party ones too? "The Switch 2 should become an essential purchase in the months and years to come. "That's a question only you can answer, but there's no denying that it is better in every measurable way. Apart from those joysticks, that is." Other reviewers have also praised the device. One reviewer added: "It’s like a Switch, but nearly everything is better. Better hardware and a solid amount of storage should ensure support for many years to come for all those iconic Nintendo franchises like Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, and Metroid. Which is why most people play Nintendo consoles."
