After years of anticipation, Nintendo has finally revealed the Nintendo Switch 2, including its launch date, price, specs, and a stacked lineup of games. The announcement came during a special Nintendo Direct showcase, where the company confirmed that the next-generation handheld will hit stores on June 5, 2025, with a retail price of $449.99 (₹38537).

Nintendo Switch 2 New Features and Specifications

The Nintendo Switch 2 keeps the hybrid design of its predecessor but packs some major upgrades under the hood. The most noticeable change is the 7.9-inch 1080p display, which supports 120fps and HDR, delivering smoother, more vibrant visuals. While it doesn’t use an OLED panel, the improved refresh rate and HDR support promise a sharper gaming experience.

Under the sleek exterior, the ‘Switch 2’ boasts upgraded hardware, ensuring better performance for demanding games. Players can expect faster load times, enhanced graphics, and seamless gameplay, especially in titles that struggled on the original Switch.

The new Joy-Con 2 controllers are a game-changer. Featuring larger analog sticks, improved precision, and a new mouse-like function, they offer greater control for strategy and shooter games. Players can even connect a USB mouse for pinpoint accuracy.

Voice chat gets upgraded with a built-in noise-cancelling microphone, making multiplayer sessions clearer. The console also supports 3D audio, adding depth to in-game soundscapes.

A new USB-C port sits at the top of the device, serving dual purposes: charging and connecting accessories like the upcoming Switch 2 camera.
