Inside the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware specs

Inside the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware specs


The full reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 was largely focused on all the new games you can play. The hardware specs weren’t the focus, but Nintendo dropped a detailed list of what’s inside the Switch 2 on its website, and later provided even more detailed tech specs. Most of what we knew from the original announcement video and some leaks turned out to be true: It’s a bigger, better handheld console with a full slate of upgraded hardware.

Here’s what we now know, specs-wise, about the Nintendo Switch 2.

The original base model of the Nintendo Switch is approximately 4 inches high and 9.4 inches long (with Joy-Cons attached), according to Nintendo’s official system specs. Switch 2 is a little bigger at 6.5 inches high and 10.7 inches long (also with Joy-Cons attached). The larger size also makes the Switch 2 weigh about 1.18 lbs, which is a little heavier than the .88-lbs original Switch. For another reference: That’s a little less than the Steam Deck LCD’s 1.5-lbs weight.

Switch 2’s capacitive touch screen is 7.9 inches — bigger than both the original Switch (6.2 inches) and the Switch OLED (7 inches) — but it’s back to LCD.

The new display also got a bump in resolution to 1080p (from 720p) and supports a variable refresh rate (VRR) up to 120 Hz. HDR10 support is coming too, but Nintendo didn’t specify any of the fine details on the screen’s brightness so it might not be as impressive as something like the Steam Deck OLED. And while it’s technically not a feature of the screen itself, the thinner bezel should make it just feel bigger as well.

Switch 2’s new Joy-Cons work a bit differently than the original Switch. They magnetically attach to the sides of the console and don’t produce that satisfying snap like they used to. The original Joy-Cons weigh around 1.7 ounces (left) and 1.8 ounces (right), and the new ones weigh around 2.3 ounces (left) and 2.4 ounces (right). That might be because the Switch 2’s Joy-Cons have a mouse sensor that lets you flip them on their side and slide them around, and the new C button for GameChat. While Nintendo says that Joy-Con 2 controllers don’t feature Hall-effect joystick technology, “The control sticks for Joy-Con 2 controllers have been redesigned and have improved in areas such as durability,” the company says.

In addition to a mouse sensor, each Joy-Con 2 has a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope. The Joy-Con 2 controllers have wireless connectivity via Bluetooth 3.0, and the right one has NFC wireless connectivity.

Nintendo says the Joy-Con 2 controllers have approximately 20 hours worth of battery life, and require approximately 3.5 hours to fully charge.

Switch 2 has 256 GB of flash storage, considerably more than the original Switch’s 32 GB of storage.

If that sounds a little small for you, you can still expand the storage with an SD card. The original Switch supported microSDHC and microSDXC (UHS-I) cards up to 2 TB, while the Switch 2 supports up to 2 TB microSD Express cards, which offer much faster read speeds.

Switch 2 is powered by a “custom processor made by Nvidia,” Nintendo says. According to leaked details gleaned from the console’s motherboard, it’s supposedly a custom Tegra T239 processor. That would put the system’s processing power on par with previous-generation consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, according to analysts. But leaks suggest the Switch 2 will employ upscaling technology that can boost 720p resolution visuals up to 4K when docked, using machine learning techniques.

Additionally, Switch 2 is rumored to have 12 GB of RAM.

Switch 2 features a port for game cartridges, two USB-C ports, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The USB-C port on the bottom of the console is purely for charging and connecting to the dock. A slot for expanded microSD storage appears to be tucked away underneath the Switch 2’s kickstand, similar to the original Switch.

Switch 2 has a built-in microphone that will primarily be used for its Discord-like GameChat feature. It has noise cancellation, echo cancellation, and auto gain control so you don’t have to fuss with settings for it to pick up everyone in the room.

Switch 2’s battery will last around 2 to 6.5 hours depending on the games you play. That’s actually a tiny bit less than the launch Switch 1 models, which can run from 2.6 to 6.5 hours, and considerably less than the updated models that last 4.5 to 9 hours. Blame the Switch 2’s bigger and better screen for making you charge it a little more often. Thankfully, it can be charged up to full in the same three hours it took the original consoles (while in sleep mode).

Nintendo will also let Switch 2 owners set the system’s battery charge to slow down at “around 90%” to preserve the system’s battery life.

Switch 2 supports Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, which should make downloading games faster if you have a beefy internet connection. It also means screen-sharing your games over GameChat should be smooth, too. Alternatively, the Switch 2 dock has a wired Ethernet port built-in, unlike the original Switch which required a completely separate adapter.

Image: Nintendo

Switch 2’s dock looks a lot like the original Switch’s dock, but it’s a little bigger to match the size of the new console. It comes in at 4.5 inches tall, 7.9 inches wide, and 2 inches thick. On the back, there are 2 USB ports, an HDMI port, and an Ethernet port. And when you slide your system into it, it will output video up to 4K at 60 frames per second to your TV.

Switch 2 offers a couple new accessibility options that weren’t available on the original Switch, including text sizing and text-to-speech. You can also turn on speech-to-text and text-to-speech specifically for GameChat. And like the original Switch, you can still remap controller buttons, change the display colors, zoom into the screen, and swap the audio from stereo to mono.

Survivalist Invisible Strain Steam Review

Survivalist Invisible Strain Steam Review


Survivalist Invisible Strain wants to be Project Zomboid. Project Zomboid is quit possibly the most detailed zombie simulator known to man, as well as extremely difficult. I happen to have bought Project Zomboid a few years ago and can confirm its greatness and difficulty.

See I own Project Zomboid. I just took a pic of the tutorial, but have played a lot more.

Survivalist Invisible Strain is the sequel to a game called Survivalist, which I have never played, nor do I after playing this. The developer’s name is Bob. Well, Bob, your game sucks as it currently stands and will take years of patches to make it playable, if it ever gets there. Project Zomboid this is not. Where do I even start? First, the game is in 3d with fog and pop-in. The game is ugly. The maps are randomly generated, and you can’t go in anything, not even houses. You just scavenge from a menu. No rummaging through cabinets while sneaking around the zombies. Speaking of sneaking, it either works, or it doesn’t. What I mean is, either they don’t see you when you’re right in front of them, or they see you from half a map away. But wait, there’s more wrong with Survivalist Invisible Strain.

If you press X, you can recruit her to your cause for no explicable reason.

Combat in Survivalist Invisible Strain is terrible. You will die a lot, not necessarily because you are weak, but because you’ll miss a lot and the zombies will prompt a press A minigame. If you die and have a point of constitution, a randomly created settlement will pull out from death for one of those points. That’s nice I guess. Oh, and there’s a survival mode(random map, no story), and story mode. Except there is no story. The map is randomly generated and you get the same mission prompts in either mode. The title refers to a invisible strain of the zombie virus that can turn your mates, but honestly never got that far because the game lacks a clear purpose or reason to continue.

I’m 28 but look 70.

Survivalist Invisible Strain will take years to get good. Unfortunately, I don’t think that’ll save this because why play this when you have Project Zomboid for a few dollars more? Project Zomboid has been around for 12 years. But when I played it years ago, it was great then, its just gotten better with time. This gets a Garbage with a 2 back-end score.

Overall: Survivalist Invisible Strain is a low-rent 3D Project Zomboid knock-off that fails to deliver. It’ll take years to get good, years it doesn’t have.

Verdict: Garbage

General Hospital Early Spoilers May 19-23: Drew Doubles Down on Leverage, Love & Lashes Out

    General Hospital Early Spoilers May 19-23: Drew Doubles Down on Leverage, Love & Lashes Out


    General Hospital spoilers for May 19-23, 2025 see Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) doubling down on leverage, love, and doing some more lashing out.

    We’re going to give you everything for the rest of this week and then step into the spoilers for next week as we always do on early edition day. We start with the last few days of this week just to give you context. We’ve got good stuff for Drew, Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi), Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), and a lot of people. Let’s dive right in.

    General Hospital Spoilers: This Week’s Drama Unfolds (May 14-16)

    Wednesday, May 14th, Alexis is desperately trying to shut down Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Ric Lansing’s (Rick Hearst) blackmail because she knows she’s going to get busted because she’s having to steal a whole buttload of money.

    And she’s going to turn to Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) for help. So, Alexis asked the Jackal to help her save Kristina’s life. But if this is about saving Kristina, then it sounds like Alexis may be asking Spinelli to work a miracle and maybe wipe the digital video evidence against Kristina. It was on the surveillance tapes. It’s also on Ava’s phone, but this is Spinelli we’re talking about.

    Meanwhile, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) come up with a plan. She’s telling Jason she wants to get Michael Corinthos’s (Chad Duell) kids out of Drew and Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) house ASAP. And remember, Carly asked Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) to move up the custody hearing. That’s why Willow is devastated as she is served with some new legal papers thanks to Carly’s plotting and planning.

    And it may be a move for sole custody of the kids. There could be, we’ll see, an emergency hearing over Drew’s dirty antics, even though he insists he was drugged and set up, which we all know is true. And Willow is in shock and cannot believe what’s happening. And she may think this ties back to Michael refusing to see her in Germany, which we all know was the work of Drew.

    General Hospital Spoilers: Drew Offers Help

    Meanwhile, he uncovers something and says he knows who to call. So, this may be Drew telling Willow he can help her with this legal matter. So, is Drew going to use his influence or figure out that Carly is behind this and not Michael? Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) loses her temper with someone? It could be about Sidwell (Carlo Rota) or what Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) is up to.

    And Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) has a recollection about their car accident and tells Ric she recalls that right before they crashed, he said something about the brakes not working. When Liz tells him this, is Ric Lansing going to try and dial it back because he doesn’t want it coming out because he is banking on that blackmail money. And Kristina tells Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) she does not know if she can ever trust or forgive her mom, Alexis, again.

    GH Spoilers: Thursday’s Shocking Revelations (May 15)

    On Thursday, May 15th, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) has a heart-to-heart with Gio Palmieri (Gio Mazza) who is still plagued with guilt over the Rocco Falceroni (Finn Frances Carr) alcohol poisoning incident. And Ric Lansing gets an interesting offer from someone. Maybe it’s Alexis. Maybe it’s Spinelli coming to him to try and get him to back off the blackmail.

    Elizabeth has a chat with Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), and I wonder if she’s going to talk about her memories of the accident and the brakes going out. And Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) is on a search for answers with Liz recalling the brake thing. You know, will Lucky figure out that Ric Lansing might know the truth about Kristina? And that ties back to why Alexis wanted to commit her daughter. Meanwhile, Kristina tries to undo some damage, and it’s got to be about the accident.

    General Hospital Spoilers: Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison)
    General Hospital Spoilers: Drew Cain Quartermaine

    General Hospital Friday Spoilers: Secrets and Schemes (May 16)

    Friday, May 16th, Sonny is trying to talk to Willow. Maybe it’s about this custody case with Michael. And I wonder if Sonny knows that this is something Carly is cooking up. Speaking of that, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) asks a big favor of Carly. And Nina may ask Carly to ask Michael to stop this legal action. Clearly, Nina has no idea that Carly is behind it.

    Lulu’s on a quest for answers. She wants proof that Gio is Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Dante’s son. DNA testing is the only way to prove it for sure. So, we’ll see how far Lulu goes. Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) tries to ease Brook Lynn’s worries and she may tell her that she shut down Lulu and that adoption story she was writing. Tracy thinks she has shut down Lulu all around, but no, she has not.

    General Hospital Spoilers: Portia Needs Advice

    Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) needs advice from Ava and it’s obviously about Drew’s relentless blackmail, and Portia might tell Ava what she and Nina did with the Ketamine and the hooker. But as far as I’ve seen so far, unless I miss something, Drew hasn’t let Portia (Brook Kerr) know that he knows she did the Ketamine thing.

    And there’s still that thing hanging up in the air where Drew paid an extra half a million dollars to Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) for one last thing before he went. And then I don’t think we saw what it was. So I wonder if he went down and signed an affidavit with the police or something.

    Next Week on GH: May 19-23 Spoilers Revealed

    The week of May 19th through the 23rd, Spinelli is on his mission to help Alexis. But if Ava’s got backups of their surveillance video and Spinelli is trying to clean up all of the video evidence, that might be problematic. And I wonder if Spinelli will cross lines to cover Kristina’s crime.

    Lulu gets closer and closer to the truth about Gio, Dante, and Brook Lynn. And Willow takes a turn. Obviously, Carly’s hoping she will back off of Drew but knowing what we’ve seen from Willow, she may keep pushing forward. She may even double down. And her honey bunny, Drew, is going to try and fix this mess for her as he’s promised he would always watch out for her.

    Portia keeps digging that hole deeper. Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) suspects his wife and he’s going to be furious when he finds out what Portia did and that’s why she is trying to get him to lay off of Drew. Tracy fights for her family. She wants to bring BLQ’s son home and into the family fold.

    Little does a lot of the Quartermaines know that he’s already there. It’s Gio. Look for Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) scenes these two weeks and more with the despicable Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) as he is conspiring with Drew and Sidwell and others.

    Rose Vega to ’90 Day Fiance’ Viewers: Sign Up For My OnlyFans!

      Rose Vega to ’90 Day Fiance’ Viewers: Sign Up For My OnlyFans!



      Reading Time: 3 minutes

      Rose Vega & Big Ed’s 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days story is impossible to forget.

      Even if many viewers wish that they could purge some moments from their minds forever.

      Rosemarie endured Ed Brown’s outrageous behavior long before he ever turned Liz Woods’ life upside down.

      She made the best of a bad situation and created a better life for herself and her son. Now, she’s doing that again — by launching an OnlyFans.

      90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 4 star Rosemarie Vega is telling her side of the story on YouTube. (Image Credit: YouTube)

      Rose Vega is a familiar face to ’90 Day Fiance’ fans

      Five years ago, Big Ed Brown flew out to the Philippines to meet up with Rosemarie Vega, a single mom younger than his own daughter who was living in poverty.

      (As viewers saw when he moved on with Liz Woods, Ed seems to have a type)

      Even before he arrived, he had admitted on camera that he was lying to Rose about his vasectomy and his height. He would go on to repeatedly shame her and leave her confused and humiliated. After she finally dumped him, he outed her as bisexual on international television.

      Big Ed Brown sweats and holds up a phone indignantly.
      On the 90 Day Fiance; Before The 90 Days Season 4 Tell All special, Big Ed Brown outed Rosemarie Vega as bisexual. Classy guy! (Image Credit: TLC)

      It was, in many ways, a miserable experience for Rosemarie. Big Ed was not the man whom she had hoped to find for herself or for her son.

      However, she was able to use her 15 minutes of fame to launch a modeling career. Her health visibly improved. 90 Day Fiance fans — with the exception of those hoodwinked by Ed’s usual nonsense — were happy for her.

      However, 2024 saw a string of misfortune befall Rose. Her hope is that launching an OnlyFans can set things right.

      During 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 4, Big Ed Brown had several nasty surprises for Rosemarie Vega. (Image Credit: TLC)

      How did she decide to join OnlyFans?

      Rose Vega spoke to TMZ about her OnlyFans plans. Her account on the adult media subscription platform should go live on Thursday, May 15.

      She spoke about undergoing a recent vaginal rejuvenation treatment, which she says improved her self-confidence. (Real talk, that seems like a medical service endorsement that she did)

      Rosemarie says that subscribers will see her travel vlogs, weekly photos, boudoir videos, and “never seen” spicy content.

      View this post on Instagram

      A post shared by ROSE VEGA (@rose_vega_official)

      It also sounds like Rose will be offering personalized voice messages.

      She expressed a desire to make fans feel seen with interactive chats. While many popular OnlyFans creators do not personally handle messaging, others absolutely do.

      Unfortunately, her reasons for joining are — in part — practical. In 2024, Rose reports that a family member scammed her out of money. She had to sell property just to make ends meet. Her vape shop in Manila also closed after the Philippines passed nationwide regulations on vaping.

      Rosemarie Vega asks Big Ed Brown to please change your behavior
      On ’90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days,’ Rosemarie Vega encourages her ex to “please change your behavior.” Famously, he did not. (Image Credit: TLC)

      She’s ready for her OnlyFans debut!

      Rose has pledged to donate a portion of her first month’s earnings to a local women’s shelter in Manila.

      “I’ve grown so much since my days on television. I’m finally comfortable owning my sensuality, my body, and my voice,” she stated. “OnlyFans gives me the freedom to connect with supporters one‑on‑one, on my own terms.”

      Does that sound a little rehearsed? Yes. But we wish Rosemarie the best. We just hope that she doesn’t end up having to offer these one-on-one chats to Big Ed.

      Rose Vega to ’90 Day Fiance’ Viewers: Sign Up For My OnlyFans! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

      XWheels Grandslam – A PC nod to classic racing game Super Cars from the Amiga? Hell ya! [Prototype]

      XWheels Grandslam – A PC nod to classic racing game Super Cars from the Amiga? Hell ya! [Prototype]


      I’m a huge top down racer fan, but truth be told, so many are utterly rubbish. I remember playing Micro Machines, Supercars and the like, against friends and had so much fun doing so. Well we now have a new contender on the scene, with ‘XWheels Grandslam’ by -Corso-. And while it is just a prototype, and unsure if it will be turned into a full game, the description of “In reference to Supercars 1 & 2 on the Amiga, this could be considered a remake with more hand drawn, hand painted artwork with enhanced destructible environments and increased difficulty”, caught my attention enough for an article!

      And here’s the full details. “This game is a reflection of the 1990’s era super cars and the arcade video games about them. It has meticulously hand drawn tracks with pixel art vehicles to give an overall sense of vitality and beauty. Despite the objective to smash as much as you possibly can while you race overpowered sports machines. Choose from several tracks, with destructible environments such as: shopping centres, national geological treasure caves, farmlands, mining sites, jungle and dirt roads, multiple railway crossings, china shops, active volcanoes and even an Amazoom warehouse”.

        Inside Phil Spencer and wife Fiona’s romance – meeting on ‘drunken’ night out; begging her to move to England; doppelgänger son


        Phil Spencer and TV wife Kirstie Allsopp have one of the most beloved partnerships on television – but who is his real-life wife?

        The property hunting duo TV have been regulars on telly screens for more than two decades, thanks to their programmes like Love It Or List It and Location, Location, Location – which returns with a 25th anniversary special tonight (May 14).

        Away from the hit shows though, Phil is loved-up with his wife Fiona. But where did they first meet? How many children do they have? And why did they leave their reported multi-million pound London pad?

        Here, ED! takes a look inside Phil and Fiona’s romance…

        The TV star has been married to Fiona for years (Credit: Channel 4)

        Phil Spencer and wife Fiona

        Phil and Fiona – who is Australian – first met in 1995 while they were on a “drunken night out” at London’s iconic Ministry of Sound nightclub.

        “We met in the Ministry of Sound, which is not the place where you usually meet your one true love,” Phil told The Independent in 2018.

        He added: “I wouldn’t say I was a raver.”

        Phil also revealed that at first, Fiona wasn’t too keen to move from her native Australia to England. So much so, that it took him six years to get her on board.

        “Fiona is Australian and we married in 2001. Before that we were together for six years, which I spent persuading her to live in England,” the presenter shared.

        Phil’s lookalike son

        After getting married in 2001, Phil and Fiona went on to have two sons together – Jake, 21 and Ben, 17.

        Recently, Phil shocked fans when he shared a photo of himself posing next to his rarely-seen eldest child Jake.

        In February, Phil was joined by Jake in New Zealand, while he was filming his show, New Zealand’s Best Homes.

        Taking to his Instagram, Phil uploaded several snaps of him and Jake on set. And fans were floored over the likeness between the pair.

        “He’s your doppelganger!” declared one person, as someone else said: “He is the image of you Phil.” A third agreed: “Your son is your double.”

        Phil and wife Fiona’s home

        When Phil’s not up and down the country for his shows, he can be found at his lush countryside estate.

        In 2015, Phil and his family swapped a six-bedroom house in London, reportedly worth £3.6 million, for an idyllic reported £3.3 million pad in Hampshire.

        Daily Mail reports that the property boasts 10 acres of land, a cinema, tennis court and gym. But that’s not all, each one of the six bedrooms reportedly has its own en-suite.

        As for why Phil decided to move out of London after 25 years, he said that it was for a “change of life”.

        He he told The Mirror: “I’ve loved living in south-west London for [the] past 25 years but have moved to Hampshire for a change of life – children getting older and changing schools etc.

        “I was born and bred in the countryside so excited about having space, nature [and] greenery around us. Two ponies and six chickens have already joined the family!”

        Location, Location, Location airs on Wednesday (May 14) from 8pm on Channel 4.

          Peter Andre reveals wife Emily’s ‘serious’ health issue amid ‘very scary time’ for family


          Emily Andre, the wife of singer Peter Andre, experienced “serious” complications when she gave birth to their second daughter last year, he has revealed.

          The couple share three children together – eldest daughter Amelia, son Theo, and baby Arabella, who arrived into the world in April 2024. Their family also includes Junior and Princess, Peter’s children he shares with former wife Katie Price.

          However, in a recent podcast appearance, Mysterious Girl singer Peter admitted there won’t be any further additions to his brood.

          Peter Andre speaks about his wife Emily

          Speaking with Giovanna Fletcher on the Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Peter reflected on how Arabella had enriched their lives.

          But, despite his delight at being a dad again, the 52-year-old singer admitted it was a “bittersweet” milestone in his life.

          That’s because Peter indicated he and Emily Andre, 35, are not likely to become parents to any more kids in the future.

          Explaining his happiness with fatherhood, Peter said: “It’s beautiful because you’ve experienced it, how lucky. When I think of people who can’t have children, and I’m thinking I’ve got to experience it that many times.”

          ‘Complications were serious’

          Peter went on to reveal the choice not to add to their family was influenced by “complications” during Arabella’s birth.

          He said: “Emily had a real complication with Belle which I’m sure she’ll tell you about, which people didn’t know about. And I don’t know if she’s ever talked about it. But the complications that happened after, they were very serious.”

          It was a very scary time.

          He continued: “So it was a very scary time as well, but it also confirmed that it was the last time.”

          In recent weeks, Peter has found himself in hot water with fans after taking his family to controversial park SeaWorld and posting about it on Instagram.

          One unhappy follower fumed at him in the comments section: “Anyone with half a brain should know to avoid SeaWorld – come on it’s 2025 – do better!”

          And a few weeks ago, Peter also experienced another backlash after her came under fire over his wearing a dreadlocks wig and putting on a Jamaican accent for his film role in Jafaican.

          6 Trusted USDT Liquidity Cloud Mining Sites to Manage Crypto Investment Risks


          The crypto world is much more than just Bitcoin. In 2025, altcoins—cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin offer exciting opportunities for savvy investors. These include Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and others, gaining value and utility. But with high potential comes high risk. So, how do you safely invest in altcoins and generate passive income simultaneously?

          One of the ideal strategies is to use USDT liquidity-based cloud mining platforms. These sites allow you to mine crypto without owning any physical hardware while reducing volatility through the stability of Tether (USDT), a popular stablecoin pegged to the US dollar.

          Is MIND of Pepe the Next 1000x Crypto? New AI Coin Enters Final Days of Presale

          Is MIND of Pepe the Next 1000x Crypto? New AI Coin Enters Final Days of Presale


          Could MIND of Pepe (MIND) be the next big AI-powered crypto?

          With just 17 days left in its presale, this new project is generating serious buzz by pairing Pepe memes with advanced artificial intelligence to spot crypto trends before they take off.

          But will MIND live up to all the hype?

          How MIND of Pepe’s AI Agent Finds Crypto Gems Before They Trend

          MIND of Pepe features an AI agent – essentially a 24/7 crypto analyst with a knack for spotting narratives before anyone else.

          It can scan through mountains of blockchain data, check wallet movements, and find hidden gems before the masses catch on.

          For example, if it detects a sudden spike in wallet activity around a little-known token while spotting trends on X or Reddit, it connects the dots instantly.

          Within seconds, MIND holders get a notification on Telegram, flagging it as a potentially lucrative find.

          MIND of Pepe’s AI also listens to what people are saying.

          It picks up on hype, sentiment shifts, and meme-driven momentum – like if cat coins were blowing up or influencers were dropping hints about specific niches.

          The AI can even get involved in the conversation, posting memes or crypto slang like a veteran trader.

          Plus, it’s constantly learning and tweaking its strategies based on what works.

          That’s not just smart – it’s transformative (and entertaining too).

          Why Analysts Think MIND of Pepe Could Beat the Original Pepe Coin

          There’s more to MIND of Pepe than just its AI assistant.

          Another thing investors are loving is the staking program, which lets early buyers earn some impressive returns.

          We’re talking an APY estimated at 247% – though that will gradually decrease as more people get involved.

          However, that hasn’t stopped investors from locking up over 1.4 billion MIND already.

          Then there’s MIND of Pepe’s tokenomics.

          The total supply is just over 100 billion tokens, with the AI agent accounting for 25% – essentially giving it a war chest to shake things up.

          The analysts at 99Bitcoins are excited about this mix of staking rewards and AI utility.

          They even compared MIND to the original Pepe coin.

          They believe that even though PEPE is the first-mover frog coin, MIND could outperform it over the long run.

          MIND of Pepe has a more sustainable model – it doesn’t just rely on hype, like PEPE does.

          That makes it a more attractive hold for retail traders.

          MIND of Pepe’s $9.2M Presale Nears Finish – What Happens Next?

          With just over two weeks left, MIND of Pepe’s presale is in its final stretch – and things are heating up.

          The project has already raised $9.2 million, with tokens priced at just $0.0037515.

          If you’re interested, getting involved is simple: just head to the official website, connect a wallet (like Best Wallet), and you’re good to go.

          After the presale ends (expected around May 31), tokens will become claimable shortly after, followed by listings on platforms like Uniswap.

          Once listed, analysts expect a flurry of trading action, with some predicting a quick 2x (or even 3x) spike as traders rush in.

          MIND of Pepe’s $9.2M Presale Nears Finish – What Happens Next?

          But beyond immediate gains, the developers have big plans lined up.

          There’s talk of NFT comic books, MemeDAO community voting, and even a metaverse.

          Plus, since the AI agent is already live on X, MIND of Pepe has a working product to showcase what’s ahead.

          The bottom line is that things could be about to get very interesting.

          That’s why traders are scrambling to buy MIND tokens before the presale ends and they hit the open market.
