Nintendo explained The long -awaited Switch 2 console, the successor of the extraordinary successful Nintendo Switch, will be released on June 5, 2025, the most important launch game Mario Card WorldA new open world entrance to the dear card race series.
Like the original, Switch 2 remains a hybrid device that can play games while moving in hand form and connected to the big screen at home. However, according to his predecessor, it brings a few important improvements.
After the first statement following the leak for months in January 2025, we now know that Switch 2 will have a 7.9 -inch larger screen in hand mode. Return to a LCD screen after the amazing OLED model for the original switch, which creates a disappointing, but sees a lump of local resolution for 1080p and offers HDR for supported games. It can also make a square speed up to 120 FPS, but this will be dependent on the game.
Sound, improved speakers, 3D audio support (although a system update is planned to provide support through headphones, through headphones) and a microphone is placed on the console. Although the screen size of the screen and the addition of this microphone, the hand remains only 13.9 mm thick, but its weight is not mentioned.
The console itself also has two USB-C ports, one on the top and the other at the bottom. Secondly, when used in the new dock – more in a second – it can be used in hand mode (a small but pleasant development struggling to balance the base with a charger that comes out of the base) or to charging the console to connect the environmental units.
The controllers are similarly revised, the new Dubbed Joy-Con 2 controllers are connected with “strong magnets” and with a release button to interrupt their connection. They can be used as mouse controllers, while confirming the rumors that have been going on for a long time, the SL/SR shoulder buttons included in them are now larger and easier to press when used as a single controller. The captains are larger than before.
The right Joy-Con 2 also sees the addition of a “C” button that will be used to bring sound controls and allows users to access new Gamechat features using microphones. Gamechat will allow users to openly talk, while the noise blocking technology cuts background noise, a new camera will allow the environmental unit screen group to be played.
The “C” button will also appear in a new Switch 2 Pro controller with a more “traditional” Joypad Joypad, similar to an Xbox or PS5 controller. However, it should be noted that these Gamechat features will require a Nintendo Switch online subscription. Nintendo will also introduce a special, wireless gamecube controller for use with classic games that come to Nintendo Switch online (but more).
The switch 2 does not take a big revision at a glance, but it increases the output of Switch 2 while connecting to a television. Nintendo says he will allow up to 4K and maintain HDR support, but it does not clarify whether there is some OOMPH that has been added through upgrade or established.
Nintendo became more specific. Although the built-in storage area will be eight times more-more than the 256GB-based original key model, and that it would be “faster” for reading and writing data, Switch 2’s processor, RAM or other hardware metrics were not mentioned. We will bring you more information as soon as you have it.
The other single switch hardware specification was the “faster than that of the key 1, and now red to stand up – and the console was the other only key hardware specification to support the Microsd Express format cards for storage expansion. This means that you cannot change other microSD card formats directly from your original switch to switch 2; You will need to use the system transfer tool.
What was the biggest surprise of the announcement it wasn’t Still, the price. However, Wired understands that Switch 2 will sell retail for $ 450 in the USA. We have reached Nintendo for more price information in other regions.
