Nintendo just had their Nintendo Switch 2 Direct early this morning, and it was a good one. There were a tons of games and even some third party games announced for the system as well. Too bad we have to wait until April 9, 2025 for pre-orders (Yes, I will Pre-Order). The console will be released on June 5th, 2025. The cost of the system, oof:

Nintendo Switch 2 (By Itself): $ 449
Nintendo Switch 2 (Mario Kart World Bundle): $499

The console itself has a huge upgrade as well. Comes with a 256GB Internal Storage. The screen is bigger (7.9 inches) compared to the original Switch (6.2 inches). Comes with a “GameChat” feature, kind of like a voice chat option. The Dock itself supports 4k (120FPS) resolution, and HDR supported tvs.
