After seven years on the market, 150 million systems, and more than 1 billion games sold for the original Switch, Nintendo is finally ushering in its next console--the Nintendo Switch 2. Following many rumors, leaks, and reports, Nintendo revealed lots of new information about the Switch 2 during a Nintendo Direct on April 2--and it was a beefy broadcast with tons of announcements.

This post covers everything we know about the Switch 2's price and release date, launch titles, backward compatibility, and lots more. Preorders for the Switch 2 open on April 9.

Switch 2 Price And Release Date

The Nintendo Switch 2 will launch on June 5, and it's priced at $450 in the US. Nintendo will also offer a $500 bundle that includes a digital copy of Mario Kart World. This bundle seems to represent a good value, as Mario Kart World on its own costs $80. A June launch for the Switch 2 was previously rumored, while the price point is also in the ballpark of what people expected it to cost.
