The recent Nintendo Switch 2 announcement comes after the success of the original Switch, which has sold over 150 million units since 2017.
Nintendo's focus with the Switch 2 seems to be on refining the original concept rather than introducing major new features.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to be released on June 5, marking the company's first major hardware upgrade in over 8 years.
Preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 will begin on April 9 at select retailers, with the base model priced at $450 in the US.
The Switch 2 boasts a larger 7.9-inch screen, 120 frames per second gaming, 256GB of storage, and innovative features like using controllers as a mouse.
Nintendo has introduced accessories for the Switch 2, including a camera for streamers and a Pro Controller with new features and support for motion controls.
The Switch 2 enables playing certain games online with other users, even without owning the game, and has attracted third-party support for games like Elden Ring and Street Fighter 6.
Upgraded versions of popular games like Super Mario Party and The Legend of Zelda are in the works for the Switch 2.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Civilization VII, NBA 2K, WWE 2K, and Borderlands 4 are some of the titles coming to the Switch 2.
The Nintendo Switch 2 offers potential for portable gaming fans but may prompt some to weigh the price against the features before deciding to purchase.
