Look Sports Media – Almost a week after its release, Nintendo’s Switch 2 is generating more than just impressive graphics; it’s sparking a wave of hilarious online moments. The console, boasting a custom NVIDIA Ampere GPU promising 10x the graphical power of its predecessor and supporting 4K HDR at 60FPS in handheld mode, has quickly become a playground for unexpected shenanigans.
The upgraded hardware has been put to the test in the most creative ways. Pokémon Scarlet/Violet players rejoiced at the improved performance in notoriously laggy areas, while speedrunners shattered records. Even JerryRigEverything subjected the console to his signature durability tests, revealing a surprisingly resilient, albeit difficult-to-repair (3/10 on the iFixit repairability scale), device. Disassembly videos quickly followed, showcasing the intricate internal workings and challenging repair process.
The Switch 2’s new USB-C port, designed for the officially-released Piranha Plant camera, became an instant meme. The camera’s disappointing 480p max resolution led to inventive workarounds to achieve higher quality footage, much to the amusement of online viewers.

Launch titles also contributed to the online buzz. The Switch 2 Welcome Tour, a tech demo priced at £8, became a source of both amusement and frustration for players, with its ironic opening scene featuring the player waiting in line for a Switch 2 event. The highly anticipated Mario Kart World, while initially plagued by an "Error Code: 2813-0171," quickly became a haven for creative gameplay, particularly the resurgence of the beloved Moo Moo Meadows track and its cow character from Mario Kart Wii.
The high demand for the Switch 2 created its own unique brand of online humor. Social media was flooded with desperate pleas and inventive suggestions from those struggling to secure a console. The Switch 2 launch, therefore, wasn’t just about impressive specs; it was a chaotic, hilarious, and ultimately memorable event, showcasing the console’s capabilities and the community’s creativity in equal measure.
