The Next Generation of Nintendo Gaming Has Arrived
The Nintendo Switch 2 has arrived, ushering in a new era of hybrid gaming that blends power with unparalleled versatility. Whether you are upgrading from your original system or experiencing Nintendo for the first time, the Nintendo Switch 2 is designed to be the centrepiece of your gaming life.
Immersive Hardware Built for Play
Experience your favourite worlds with stunning clarity on the new 7.9-inch HDR LCD screen, which delivers 1080p resolution and smooth refresh rates up to 120Hz in handheld mode. When you’re ready for the big screen, docking the Nintendo Switch 2 provides 4K output for compatible games, bringing cinematic detail to your living room.
The system is built for comfort and stability, featuring a large built-in stand with 150 degrees of freedom, allowing you to find the perfect viewing angle for tabletop sessions. Under the hood, the console boasts 256GB of internal storage for your digital library. To ensure the fastest performance, the Nintendo Switch 2 uses the new microSD Express card standard for expandable memory. It also features two USB-C ports: one on the bottom for the dock and a convenient top port for charging while playing or connecting accessories like the new Nintendo Switch 2 Camera.
Revolutionary Controls and Communication
The new Joy-Con 2 controllers attach magnetically for a seamless "snap" and feature a redesigned shape for better ergonomics. A major innovation is the built-in mouse sensor on each Joy-Con 2, which allows you to use a table or even your lap as a mouse pad for precise control in compatible games.
Staying connected is easier than ever with GameChat, Nintendo’s new integrated voice and video communication system.
- Instant Access: Use the new "C" button on the Joy-Con 2 or Pro Controller to jump into a chat instantly without pausing your game.
- Clearer Conversations: A built-in microphone with noise and echo cancellation ensures your friends hear you clearly, whether you are using the system speakers or 3D-audio-capable headphones.
- Social Value: GameChat is open to all users with a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
Sharing the Fun with GameShare and Virtual Cards
The Nintendo Switch 2 introduces new ways to share the joy of gaming with friends and family. With GameShare, you can share a portion of compatible games with others in your GameChat or local group, allowing everyone to play together even if only one person owns the game.
Digital gamers will also appreciate Virtual Game Cards, which allow you to "eject" a digital title from one system and "load" it onto another. You can even lend digital games to members of your Nintendo Account family group for up to 14 days, making it easier than ever to share your library.
A Diverse Library of Past and Future Hits
The Nintendo Switch 2 launched with an incredible lineup, including the highly anticipated Mario Kart World. You can also enjoy enhanced versions of recent masterpieces, such as Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV and upgraded editions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
While the Nintendo Switch 2 is backward compatible with a wide selection of original Nintendo Switch titles, please note that certain games, such as Ring Fit Adventure, 1-2-Switch, and Nintendo Switch Sports, require original Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers and may not be compatible with the new Joy-Con 2 hardware.
