Nintendo has officially announced the launch of the Switch 2, scheduled for June. The new console will feature a price tag of $449.99 and introduce several high-profile games, including a new Mario Kart World title. Preorders will begin on April 9, with specific requirements aimed at preventing scalping, favoring longtime fans and Switch Online members. The Switch 2 promises enhancements like 4K visuals, a new camera feature, and updates for popular franchises such as Metroid and Pokémon. However, concerns about compatibility issues with existing games and a reportedly shorter battery life have surfaced. As anticipation builds, retailers like Best Buy plan to open at midnight to accommodate eager fans on launch day.
