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

    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.

  • @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?
