Its 2025 sequel increases the power without sacrificing portability. A sampling of its impressive stats: An Nvidia Tegra T239 chip, alongside dedicated ray-tracing and Deep Learning Super-Sampling (DLSS) cores, lets the new model run at 4K on TVs, while the on-device 7.9-inch HDR display runs handheld titles at 1080p and 120Hz, meaning there\u2019s no flicker during gameplay. Its 12 GB of LPDDR5X memory also helps keep sprawling open worlds stutter-free. Launched in June, the console sold 3.5 million units in its first week\u2014making it Nintendo\u2019s fastest-selling hardware ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>TIME Best Inventions of 2025 &#8211; Entertainment &#038; Gaming<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Epson Lifestudio Flex Plus &#8211; Powerful Streaming, Anywhere<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Falcon&#8217;s Flight &#8211; The World&#8217;s Biggest Rollercoaster<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/38Bmhf2\" target=\"_blank\">Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 &#8211; Blockbuster Gaming Console<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><em>Samsung Premiere 5 &#8211; A 4K Touchscreen Projector<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Soundcore Rave 3S &#8211; On-Demand Karaoke<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>ROG Xbox Ally X &#8211; A Gaming PC On The Go<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can see the other categories and inventions listed on the Time website.
