Nintendo has officially announced the release date for the highly anticipated Switch 2, which will launch on June 5 at a price of $449.99. The new console promises several innovative features, including enhanced game communication, streaming capabilities, and improved performance with 4K visuals. Pre-orders are set to begin on April 9, with some retailers opening at midnight for eager gamers. However, there are concerns regarding compatibility, as reports indicate that over 120 original Switch games may face compatibility issues or may not run at all on the new system. Nintendo has emphasized that the Switch 2 will come with new games, including a Mario Kart World experience and enhanced editions of popular titles like Metroid Prime 4 and Tears of the Kingdom. With no backup plan in place if the Switch 2 fails, all eyes are on Nintendo as it prepares for its first console launch in eight years.
