Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the direct successor to one of Nintendo's most successful consoles of all time — the original Switch, which sold over 146 million units and proved that the hybrid home/portable concept had a massive audience. The Switch 2 refines rather than reinvents: a larger 8-inch LCD screen (up from 6.2 inches), magnetic Joy-Con attachment replacing the previous slide mechanism, and a significantly more powerful NVIDIA Ampere GPU capable of 4K output when docked. Full backwards compatibility with the original Switch library means players don't lose access to their existing game collections. Mario Kart World, the launch title, continues the legacy of Nintendo's best-selling franchise. At AU$699, the Switch 2 is priced as a premium product but firmly within Nintendo's traditional positioning. It represents Nintendo's continued commitment to the hybrid format that redefined portable gaming.
