Nintendo shares Switch 2 details: a 7.9", 120fps, 1080p display, larger Joy-Con controllers, 256GB of storage, 4K at 60fps when docked, and a new Pro Controller

Finally, some specs. … The device has a 7.9-inch screen, but it's still 13.99mm thick, like the first Switch.

Nintendo Re-Aggregates the Living Room (and Beyond) with Switch 2 The smoke, largely self-generated by Nintendo's legendary silence, has finally cleared. The Nintendo Switch 2 is real, it has a date (June 5, 2025), a price ($449.99, or $499.99 bundled with Mario Kart World), and

GameChat seems like a great idea, especially with the way they incorporate the new camera - but the latency and quality of the video looks... less than good...

Nintendo Switch 2 Launches On June 5; Here's What Nintendo Confirmed
@andy_vgc Andy Robinson on x
Nintendo will sell a cheaper $330 Switch 2 in Japan that's region locked, it's confirmed. The ‘multilingual’ Switch will cost more and only be available from Japan's My Nintendo Store. https://vgc.news/...
@dylanmcd8 Dylan on x
This is insane. Switch 2 is too expensive, and the games are too expensive. It's a glorified Android tablet. Considering how much they're still supporting Switch 1 models, they're gonna price themselves out of a lot of upgrades.
@ballmatthew Matthew Ball on x
Two months ago, I went rather controversially viral for saying out loud that $80 premium games were probably nearby, and the industry was hoping/betting GTA6 would go even higher. Here we go.
@tomwarren Tom Warren on x

@arictoler Aric Toler on x
Switch 1 launch price was ~$260 in Japan / $300 in the US. Switch 2 launch price is going to be ~$335 in Japan / $450 in the US. First tariff effect that a lot of people will notice?
