During the Nintendo Direct showcase, significant details about the Nintendo Switch 2 were unveiled, including its release date of June 5 and the start of pre-orders on April 9. The Switch 2 will be offered at a base price of $449.99, with a special bundle including Mario Kart World priced at $499.99. While the console will support most existing Nintendo Switch games, users will require the new microSD Express cards for storage, pushing the price of expandable options up to $60 for 256 GB. Demand for pre-orders is expected to be high, potentially making it challenging for fans to secure one ahead of launch.
During Nintendo's Switch 2 Direct showcase, the company revealed two dates that fans should immediately take note of, and scribble hastily into their calendars: its June 5 release date, and even sooner, the date when you can place a pre-order for the console.
While it's possible that Nintendo has done everything in its power to ensure that it can meet demand, it seems likely still that Switch 2 pre-orders may be tough to secure ahead of its launch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will come with 256 GB of internal storage, and will cost $449.99. A version of the console that includes Mario Kart World will cost $499.99.
As for expandable storage to fit more games, it'll utilize microSD Express cards, which have the same form factor as the original Switch's microSD cards, but are as fast as SSDs.
