Everything we know about Nintendo Switch 2, including the release date, price and first games

We have finally seen the Nintendo Switch 2, but there are many that we still don't know-is everything we do, including the latest leaks for the price of the console, the game list and this all decisive release date

This is the switch 2

Nintendo finally revealed the Nintendo Switch 2 in January, but didn't give us much to do. We know that it will be a hybrid system with a dock again and that the controllers will now be magnetic.

We have also heard that you will fix the main problem of Joy-Con-Drift that plagued the first console, and it is reportedly also much more powerful than the predecessor, but we have put all the leaks together to train when we become Play what we play afterwards and how much it will cost.

Since Nintendo promises, we will remain a Switch 2 Nintendo directly on April 2 via the follow-up via one of the most successful consoles in gaming.

Everything we know about Nintendo Switch 2 so far

Starting with what we know, Switch 2 follows the template from the first console. It is a hybrid system that can be a handheld or an investor to become a home console, and the controllers are removable again – only this time they are magnetic.

A patent indicates that the new controllers can also be used as mice that are prepared with what we have seen in the trailer and they can be attached around. In view of a new USB-C connection at the top, we ask ourselves whether this will mean some wild peripheral devices that can be attached.

The screen is greater than that of the first consoles, but we are not sure whether there is still an OLED panel (but have suggested leaks). However, we hope – after the Switch OLED edition it would be difficult to return to LCD.

Nintendo Switch 2 publication date and pricing

We have thrown a lot of appointments, and some expect Nintendo to drop the console immediately after the Nintendo Direct on April 2 – which appears dared.

At the beginning of this week, a former Nintendo employee suggested that the console will target a start in June.

“You will want the system to be outside before the end of summer. At the beginning of summer, at the end of the school year, I would say, so they have children for whom they are happy, ”they said.

The pricing is likely that the system will cost more than its predecessor, but less than the PS5 or Xbox series X. The most common price is 400 US dollars, which is £ 317. 400.

How strong is Switch 2?

We loved Switch 1, but against the last end of his life cycle it became a port for Indies, while we played our “big” games on the PS5 and Xbox series X/S.

We have heard that the system marks a considerable leap in performance, and while reporting that it feels a little optimistic with the PS4 Pro performance levels, a rumor indicates that the Switch is more powerful than the steam deck. In view of the Valve console, Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring cannot have an easy task.

We also heard that it provides AI -upscaling 4K visuals, which means that games can still fit on its relatively small cartridges. We have a complete explaner of the technology here.

It is also expected that the CPU has more headroom and we expect that there is more RAM.

What games will be on Switch 2?

This is what the Switch 2 looks like

We have already heard that an AAA game from third-party provider could make the jump, while other reports indicate that Assassins Creed: Mirage, Final Fantasy 7 remake and metal Gear Solid Snake Eater Delta could come to Switch 2.

We expect Microsoft to be a big supporter of Switch 2 from all companies. The flight simle was instructed for both a publication and the Doom: The Dark Achers.

It is compatible backwards with their existing switch library, while Take-Two and EA have already thrown their weight behind the Switch 2, which means their PlayStation and Xbox counter.

Apart from older games and connections between third -party providers, we know that there will be 2 exclusive for switches that you cannot play anywhere else. Expect the usual heavy hinters like Zelda, Mario, Pokemon and more.

In the first unveiling, Nintendo presented a new Mario kart, so we will see this during the complete unveiling of the console.
