Switch 2 will be released this Wednesday (2); see everything we know about Nintendo’s new console

After much anticipation, the Switch 2, Nintendo’s new console, will officially be released this Wednesday (2) and will bring some interesting new features compared to the previous generation.

The console will be launched by the Japanese manufacturer during a live stream, and according to the American electronics retailer BestBuy, pre-orders are expected to start shortly afterward.

According to Nintendo, the Switch 2 promises to elevate the hybrid experience already established by its predecessor, improving the integration between portable and home use.

In a video posted by the brand in January, it was possible to see that the console would have a larger screen and other new features, but the biggest focus was on the new Joy-Cons, which, unlike the first Switch, will connect magnetically.

In the official announcement, it is expected that the company will provide more details about the Switch 2 hardware and its official retail price, and announce the first games for the new console, such as the anticipated Mario Kart 9.

To check out the Switch 2 announcement, stay tuned to the Nintendo Direct live stream that will be broadcast tomorrow (02/04) on Nintendo’s official channels.
