Nintendo fans, hold onto your Joy-Cons because the Nintendo Switch 2 is coming, and it’s already causing more chaos online than a blue shell in Mario Kart. Whether you’re a die-hard Nintendo fan or just someone who wants to flex a new gadget at the next family gathering, the Nintendo Switch 2 is shaping up to be one of the biggest gaming stories of 2025.
Nintendo Switch 2 News – Latest Updates & Rumors
If you’ve been living under a rock, let us wake you up. The Nintendo Switch 2 news has been going wild in gaming communities. From leaked patents to blurry prototype images shared by anonymous Reddit users (who are totally legit, trust us), the internet can’t stop speculating about the new console.
Some of the biggest Nintendo Switch 2 news points towards upgraded Joy-Cons that won’t drift like your car on Rainbow Road, a 4K docked resolution for those who want their Mario mustache extra sharp, and DLSS support to boost performance without frying the battery.
Reports suggest that Nintendo Switch 2 games might launch at $70 for standard editions and $90 or more for deluxe/collector’s editions (₹5,999 to ₹6,499 and ₹7,499 to ₹8,499 in India).
And of course, this has pissed off almost every gamer on earth. We mean, it’s Nintendo — a company famous for selling 5-year-old games at full price like it’s gold plated. Now they want $70-$90 for new titles? It doesn’t matter whether you’re in the US, UK or India — nobody wants to pay this much for a Mario game you’ll finish in a week. Gaming is slowly becoming a rich man’s hobby, while the rest of us just sit there calculating if nostalgia is really worth skipping lunch for a month.
But remember, it’s Nintendo. They could surprise everyone by announcing a Mario-only console that runs on pure nostalgia.
Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date – When Will It Launch?
As for the Nintendo Switch 2 release date, some sources are pointing to mid 2025. As per latest reports, it should be on the market starting 5th June 2025.
Nintendo doesn’t delay publicly often, so you should see it on the market in less than 2 months — because they barely announce release dates until they’re sure. But behind the scenes? You could finish your degree while waiting for some Nintendo titles.

Yes, this seems more sensible!
Nintendo Switch 2 preorder bonuses are also expected, like exclusive skins or limited-edition designs. But again, expect these to vanish faster than your paycheck.
