If the sequel system is stronger than the original Switch, some recent gems could make their way to the console

Even though the Nintendo Switch 2 was just announced, several games have already declared that they will be releasing on the system.

The original Switch came out in March of 2017 with a $299 price tag. Leaks and rumors suggest the Switch 2 could release in June of 2025. The price will likely fall somewhere between $399 and $499 USD.

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders have gone live for the first time via one retailer, who may have also leaked the Nintendo Switch 2 price.

The Switch 2 might not be a radical reinvention of what came before, but Nintendo’s new hardware does sport some unique quirks, distinguishing it from the original handheld hybrid that arrived back in 2017.

For one, Nintendo promised "a closer look at Switch 2" in a Direct video presentation scheduled for April 2. It would be a little weird for that "closer look" to come after the console itself was launched, so a launch before April seems out of the question.

Nintendo has dropped a first-look trailer for the Switch 2, and some gamers are wondering if its design is too similar to the original.
