You don't have to stay at home to enjoy great games. Game on the go with the best space and sci-fi games on the Nintendo Switch.

Tonight is the official launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, a console people have been waiting for years to arrive. Some publications and influencers received theirs one day early, but for the rest of the world, tonight is the first opportunity to play it. And for a lot of the people in this line, that means they’re willing to wait a little longer.

It’s a big day for Nintendo fans. The gaming giant’s new console, the $450 Switch 2, arrives on store shelves globally after being announced in April — marking Nintendo’s first major console launch since the original Switch arrived roughly eight years ago.

The techs over at iFixit have completed their teardown of the Nintendo Switch 2, which launched this week. After completing a thorough analysis of the newest Nintendo console, it appears this generation of Switch is even harder to repair than its predecessor.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is more expensive in practically every way: pricier console, pricier games, an entire Chat button you’ll eventually have to pay to use. So it was nice when Nintendo revealed you won’t need its own $55 camera to video chat with pals.

The price of the Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. is $449.99, while a bundle that includes “Mario Kart World” runs $499.99. That price remains unchanged by Trump’s tariffs, the Japan-based gaming giant said in April.

Fans around the world lined up outside electronics stores hours in advance to collect their pre-ordered video game consoles.

A number of Nintendo Switch 2 owners are learning the hard way that they shouldn't have declined the system transfer prompt.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly beaten the record for the most-sold console within 24 hours and is on track to shatter the two-month record.
