Nintendo launched the Nintendo Switch 2, its first new gaming platform in eight years, succeeding the wildly successful original Switch.

The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 features a hybrid console with a larger screen, enhanced graphics, redesigned Joy-Con 2 controllers, and improved social features. This release is supported by an impressive lineup of games, including Mario Kart World, as announced during an April 2025 Nintendo Direct presentation.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing and Availability

According to Nintendo’s official site, the Switch 2 offers two options: the standard console priced at $449.99 and a bundle with a digital copy of Mario Kart World for $499.99. Long lines were formed at retailers in Japan, the U.S., and other markets; however, only unofficial imports were available at a higher markup in Pakistan. Pre-orders, which were delayed due to U.S. tariffs, opened on April 24, and available stock quickly sold out.

Powered by a custom Nvidia T239 processor with DLSS upscaling and ray tracing, the Switch 2 offers enhanced performance, per ZDNET. Its 7.9-inch LCD touchscreen supports 1080p at 120Hz with HDR10 in handheld mode and 4K at 60Hz when docked, per The Verge. The console includes 256GB UFS storage, expandable to 2TB via microSD Express cards.

The Joy-Con 2 controllers feature magnetic attachment, mouse functionality, HD rumble 2, and a 500mAh battery lasting up to 20 hours. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, two USB-C ports, and a LAN port on the dock. The Nintendo Switch 2 specs also boast a 5,220mAh battery, lasting 2-6.5 hours, and a built-in microphone for GameChat.

Nintendo Switch 2 Games and Features

The Mario Kart World bundle features a 24-player open-world racing game priced at $79.99. Other launch titles include Cyberpunk 2077, Split Fiction, and the Switch 2 editions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Backwards compatibility supports most original Switch games and enhances the visuals of titles like Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Additionally, Nintendo Switch Online has added GameCube classics, including The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Fans on X praised the hybrid console 2025 upgrades, with @NinSwitchIntel highlighting the 256GB storage. However, some noted the $449.99 price hike from the original’s $299.99. The Nintendo Switch 2 launch aims to build on the original’s 150 million units sold despite tariff challenges.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launch redefines hybrid gaming with Joy-Con 2 controllers and a robust lineup, cementing Nintendo’s innovation. The Mario Kart World bundle and Nintendo Switch 2 specs position it as a 2025 gaming powerhouse, drawing global attention to its impact on the industry.
