After months of expectations and years of speculation, Nintendo is finally spreading all the beans about Switch 2. In Nintendo’s direct presentation, the company is filling questions about the console because it formally revealed in a short teaser last January.
Switch 2 launch date and pricing
We finally know when the console will be available: June 5, 2025. It will cost $ 450 at the time of launch. Pre -orders were planned to launch on April 9, but on April 4, the company announced that they were stopping indefinitely due to the renewed revenue in the United States.
Switch 2 hardware
The switch 2 console has the same thickness but it has a huge display-1080 p resolution 7.9 inches in the resolution, compared to the 6.2 inches 720p screen on the old console. And it runs up to 120fps. It is an LCD display instead of OLED, but it supports at least HDR.
As expected, the new ghee is connected to which controllers are magnetically attached and when you are playing on a single Joey controller, there are a lot of SL and SR buttons for it. The sticks are also large, and each joy can be used as a mouse in compatible sports.
The built-in stand looks much better than those in the old switch system, and there are two USB-C ports on the console. Nintendo also highlighted 3D audio when using a compatible headphone, and the speaker on the console should also be much better. The console has 256GB storage, which is more than 32GB on the original model. With synchronous games, switch up to 4K 2 dock output and built -in in the dock to keep things cool while running on high resolutions.
Switch 2 is using a similar game card in the original switch, but Nintendo notes that they are fast. Although this time you will have to use the MicroSD Express card for additional storage. The standard microSD is not compatible with the new hardware.
A new Nintendo Switch 2 will also be available with the 2 Pro Controller C button to activate the game chat, and it also has GL and GR buttons on the back that you can assign to a particular operation. There is also a headphone jack.
One of the most important sunglasses on the portable console is the battery life – and unfortunately, the switch 2 in this department will not be great. Nintendo’s specific sheet says it is Classified between 2 and 6.5 hours of the gameplayDepending on the course on the game. Even the original switch promised 2.5 to 6.5 hours a bit better of battery life. In any way, this current switch is much more than a model offering. As far as networking is concerned, Switch 2 has been upgraded to Wi-FI 6.
Sound and video chat
The first new feature Nintendo highlighted its latest gambling controllers. There was a button. The C button allows you to enter the new features of the game chat. When playing using a built -in microphone you can give a chat, even when the console is postpone. This is the first time a voice chat has occurred in the Nintendo System, and you can share your game screen with friends when you play. For example, in Mario Cart it makes you more realize that you are all playing connected to a TV even though you are remote, because you can see everything your friends are doing too.
And chat and screen share features work even if you are all playing different games, so you can collect a group while playing different topics. There is also a switch 2 camera that enables video chat that will show on the screen when you play. These features will require Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions, but Nintendo will offer each one for free by March 31, 2026.
Mario Cart World
As expected, we are finally getting a new entry in the respected Mario Cart series, Mario Cart World. It looks familiar while some wild are also showing new tricks, such as grinding skateboard style on rails and wall jumps. Courses also look bigger and wider than we have never seen before. For the first time, it seems that there is an open world that connects all different curriculum, and the weather and day will change.
Nintendo also says that you can go on a tour and “can drive everywhere.” And after fitting these heavy tracks, there will be 24 rivals in a race in the Grand Prix. Overall, it is a widespread update that feels appropriate – the last Mario Cart Game returned for Wii U in 2014 and was updated for the original switch. It will be like June 2, 5 on the same day.
