But that’s not all. Nintendo has loaded the Switch 2 with some seriously impressive hardware upgrades. We’re talking a larger 7.9-inch screen, a crisp 1080p display with HDR support, and a powerful new processor that makes everything look and feel smoother. Plus, for the first time, Nintendo is introducing GameChat , allowing players to communicate live while racing, teaming up, or just trash-talking their friends in good fun! And let’s not forget about the upgraded Joy-Con 2 controllers , which can even function as a mouse in certain games—now that’s a cool feature!
Alongside Mario Kart World, the launch lineup for the Switch 2 is stacked with some heavy hitters. We’re talking Elden Ring, Street Fighter 6, Cyberpunk 2077, and even a brand-new exclusive called The Duskbloods coming in 2026. Fans of Donkey Kong and Kirby also have something to celebrate, with fresh new adventures for both characters dropping later this year.
Of course, no console launch is complete without a few pricing details. In the UK, the standard Nintendo Switch 2 will retail for £395 , or £429 if you bundle it with Mario Kart World . In the US, the system is priced at $449.99 , while the bundle with Mario Kart World comes in at $499.99 .
Given the massive success of the original Switch—over 150 million units sold!—Nintendo has a tough act to follow. But with these upgrades, new features, and an absolutely killer game lineup, it looks like the Switch 2 is more than ready to take on the challenge.
So, what do you think? Are you ready to jump into the next generation of Nintendo gaming? June 5 can’t come soon enough!
