Nintendo plans to unveil Switch 2 console details

Nintendo is set to unveil its highly anticipated Switch 2 console today during a dedicated Direct broadcast, with expectations for a release date, pricing, and a preview of upcoming games. The new console, visually similar to its predecessor, will feature a larger screen, improved Joy-Con controllers, and enhanced performance while maintaining its hybrid gaming concept. Analysts suggest the launch's success is critical for Nintendo's future, especially after recent profit cuts due to declining sales of the original Switch, which has sold 150 million units globally. While no major innovations are expected, experts note that gamers primarily desire a more powerful version of the original experience. Speculation around a potential price range suggests it could be around $400, which is $100 more than the original Switch's launch price. Additionally, hands-on events in major cities will allow gamers to experience the new console firsthand in the coming months.
