Nintendo Switch 2 will launch This June, price will surprise you, watch it live here.

Hello friends! Today we are going to talk about a topic that is creating a stir in the gaming world – Nintendo Switch 2! Yes, Nintendo has finally announced its new console, and it is going to launch on 5 June 2025. Nintendo has revealed that there will be two purchase options with Switch 2: one is the standalone Nintendo Switch 2, and the other is Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World (digital). So let’s know about it in detail, and see what is this new console.

Nintendo Switch 2

First of all, let’s understand what Nintendo Switch 2 is. Nintendo Switch, which was first launched in 2017, was a hybrid console – meaning you could play it on TV as well as take it outside. This concept was so hit that Switch has sold more than 141 million units worldwide (Nintendo IR data, till 2024). Now Nintendo Switch 2 is its successor, and this is also a hybrid console, but it has a lot of upgrades. Nintendo Switch 2 will have better graphics, more powerful hardware, and new features.

An interesting addition is the camera add-on, with which players can video chat or insert themselves in mini-games, such as an upgraded version of “Super Mario Party Jamboree”. Apart from this, Nintendo Switch Online is also expanding, in which now you will get to play retro GameCube games like “The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker” and “F-Zero GX”. And yes, this console will also be compatible with older Nintendo Switch games, but some games may not be fully supported – these details will come later.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Date and Purchase

• Nintendo Switch 2 will be released on 5 June 2025. There are two options with this that you can choose from:
• Nintendo Switch 2 (Standalone): This will be the basic console, which will have only the console and standard accessories.
• Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World (Digital): Along with the console, you will also get a digital copy of Mario Kart World, which is a brand-new game in the Mario Kart series.This post came on 2 April 2025, and since then people are talking about it. But one thing that is bothering everyone – Nintendo did not mention the price. People believe that “not telling the price means it is going to be very expensive.”

Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World

Now let’s talk about Mario Kart World. This game is the new entry in the Mario Kart series, which began in 1992 on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The Mario Kart series has sold more than 189 million copies worldwide so far, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (on Switch) is the best-selling Switch game with 67.35 million units. So this new game, Mario Kart World, is quite a big deal.Mario Kart World is an open-world racing game – the first time something like this is being seen in the franchise.

Up to 24 racers will race together (the largest roster in the series), and they will use karts, motorcycles, boats, trucks, snowmobiles, and even planes. The game will have different regions where you can race, with new vehicles, items, and costumes. There will be some new faces along with Mario’s classic characters. This game will come with the Switch 2 at launch, and those who choose the bundle option will get it as a digital copy.

Nintendo Switch 2 Price

Now let’s talk about the biggest question – what will be the price of Nintendo Switch 2? There was no mention of price in Nintendo of Europe’s post, but after a little research we got some information. , Nintendo Switch 2 will be priced at $449.99, which is around Rs. 37,500-38,000 in Indian rupees. This price is much higher than the launch price of the first Switch ($299.99), but it is not unexpected considering the new features and inflation.

It could also be higher due to the Trump administration’s tariffs in the U.S. Nintendo also said that they will try to minimize the impact of the tariffs, but it will definitely have some impact on the final price. If we talk about bundles, the option with Mario Kart World could be around $500, as games usually cost $50-60. But all this is still speculation, and we will have to wait for the official announcement.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Orders and Availability

GameStop has a page on its website where you can sign up for pre-order alerts, but official pre-orders have not started yet. Nintendo announced a “Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2” event to be held on 2 April 2025, in which they showed the features and games of the console, but the price and pre-order details are still under wraps.

Nintendo Switch 2 Other Games Launch

Apart from Mario Kart World, Nintendo has also mentioned a few other games that will launch either with the Switch 2 or a little later. A new open-world Donkey Kong game is coming, named “Donkey Kong Bananza,” and it will release on 17 July 2025. This game is inspired by “Super Mario Odyssey” and “Breath of the Wild,” which is quite exciting. Apart from this, an upgraded version of “Super Mario Party Jamboree” will also come, which will use camera add-on.
