Nintendo Switch 2 (2025)

The Nintendo Switch 2 officially hit the global market on June 5, 2025. This next-gen hybrid builds on the original’s legacy with a refined design featuring a larger 7.9-inch 1080p/120Hz LCD and a new magnetic Joy-Con 2 attachment system that replaces the old sliding rails. Under the hood, the console is a significant powerhouse compared to its predecessor, sporting a custom Nvidia Tegra T239 processor and 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM. This hardware allows the console to output 4K resolution while docked via Nvidia’s DLSS technology, finally bringing Nintendo into the modern ultra-HD era. For the first time, the dock includes a built-in Ethernet port, and the tablet itself features an integrated microphone and camera to support the new system-wide GameChat and social features.
Reception for the console has been overwhelmingly positive, with critics highlighting the near-instant loading times provided by its 256GB UFS 3.1 storage and its seamless backward compatibility with almost the entire original Switch library. While there was some initial “OLED FOMO” and criticism regarding the “fake” HDR performance on the LCD panel, the technical leap has been undeniable. Commercially, the Switch 2 has been a juggernaut; it moved over 17.37 million units by the end of 2025, officially becoming the fastest-selling Nintendo hardware in history and outpacing the early sales cycle of the PlayStation 5
