Nintendo Switch 2 price at $499, the most expensive console in the company's history

Nintendo Switch 2 is priced at $499.99, making it Nintendo’s most expensive console.

Its hardware includes a 7.9-inch 1080p, 120Hz LCD, 256GB of internal storage and Joy-Con 2 controllers with optical sensors that let them work as a mouse.

Docked output can reach 4K at 60Hz or 1080p at 120Hz.


For those who want to buy games together, Nintendo is preparing two packages. The first costs $ 549,99 and includes Mario Kart World along with a three-month subscription to the company's services. The second package costs $ 529,99 and includes Nintendo Switch Sports Resort and the same three-month subscription. At the same time, prices on older models, such as the regular Switch, Switch OLED and Switch Lite, have also increased.

Features and functions

The new controllers feature optical sensors that allow them to function as a computer mouse. The console's screen is 7,9 inches of LCD technology, with 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. When the device is connected to a TV, it can offer a 4K resolution image at 60 frames per second or 1080p at 120 frames per second.

The new console has up to 256GB of internal storage. The device's battery lasts from 2 to 6,5 hours, depending on the game the user is playing at any given time. In addition, the console has a built-in microphone and a dedicated button for direct voice chat. The new accessibility menu includes options such as changing text, zooming, and screen reading.

Compatibility with older games

The Switch 2 is compatible with almost all physical and digital games from the original Switch. Some older games get special upgraded versions for an additional cost. Finally, subscribers to the online service with an Expansion Pass get access to classic GameCube games.
