Mario Kart might be smoother than ever (YouTube)More rumoured tech specs have emerged for the Nintendo Switch 2 and it seems the consoles display is a significant improvement over the original.While Nintendo has announced very little about the Switch 2, outside of what the console actually looks like, there have been a stack of leaks around its technical capabilities.The heavily teased mouse-like functionality has essentially been confirmed via Nintendo patents, which have also seemingly revealed new controllers and a reversed configuration. Since then, filings indicate the console will feature faster Wi-Fi, amiibo support, and GameCube compatibility.An initial list of technical specifications for the Switch 2 leaked back in January, but now some additional details have circulated relating to the consoles display.The details come from Famiboards user Secretboy, who previously posted about the Switch 2s specifications before they leaked later in January, albeit with some minor differences. In the same month, the user claimed the Switch 2s screen would support 120Hz and VRR (variable refresh rate).While this was largely overlooked at the time, the same user has reiterated this claim in a new post this week, stating the consoles rumoured LCD screen is 120Hz with HDR (high dynamic range) and VRR support.If true, this would be a significant improvement over the original Switch and Valves Steam Deck. The former supports only up to 60Hz, while the Steam Deck OLEDs display has an improved refresh rate of 90Hz.A 120Hz refresh rate on a LCD seems somewhat ambitious, especially for a company which usually prioritises affordability over technical prowess.All of these improvements would make games look and run far better on the Switch 2, with variable refresh rate (VRR) designed to eliminate screen tearing and input lag, while high dynamic range (HDR) essentially elevates a displays brightness and colour.More TrendingFor those with a Switch OLED, the idea of going back to an LCD screen for the Switch 2 is off-putting, but these sort of improvements could help lessen the blow.Nintendo never usually confirms technical specifications prior to a new consoles launch, especially at this granular level, so we probably wont hear anything about the finer points of the Switch 2s display at the Nintendo Direct on April 2. Although, any shown gameplay footage might provide some clues.Some prior leaks have suggested the Nintendo Switch 2 will be comparable in power to an Xbox Series S, although more recent rumours have put it closer to the PlayStation 4 end of the scale.However, we probably wont find out if this is true until the console launches, which is expected to be around May or June. The Nintendo Switch 2 should be out sometime around June (YouTube)Emailgamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below,follow us on Twitter, andsign-up to our newsletter.To submit Inbox letters and Readers Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use ourSubmit Stuff page here.For more stories like this,check our Gaming page.GameCentralSign up for exclusive analysis, latest releases, and bonus community content.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
