Nintendo ’s Switch 2 attempts to be a PC with its mouse-like controls, but the ROG Ally is more versatile.

The Switch 2 will launch on June 5th , with prices starting at $ 499.99 for the base console with 256 GB of internal storage.

The Asus Ally X is available in multiple configurations, most of which are discounted regularly (sometimes steeply) but for the purposes of this post, I'm going to share original retail prices.

Nintendo 's Switch 2 and ROG Ally models use different types of storage.

The Switch 2 features 256 GB of UFS storage, and can be expanded with microSD Express cards.

The ROG Allies have improved on the Steam Deck , with an 80Wh internal battery.

Nintendo is promising up to 120 frames per second with some Switch 2 -exclusive titles that offer performance modes.

The Switch 2 and ROG Ally have some games in common.

Many games coming to the Switch 2 in 2025 are already out on PC.

While the Switch is limited to titles on the eShop, the ROG All runs Windows 11 .
