The Nintendo Switch 2, released on June 5, 2025, is a hybrid console that builds on its predecessor's success, featuring a larger LCD, magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers, and significant performance boosts—supporting 1080p/120Hz in handheld mode and 4K/60Hz when docked. It introduces social features like GameChat for remote play and screen sharing, and makes GameCube games exclusive to its Nintendo Switch Online service. Nintendo revealed the console on January 16, 2025, with full specs announced on April 2, and it became the company's fastest-selling console, moving 3.5 million units in its first four days and over 23 million by June 2026. While praised for its technical and social upgrades, the higher price of the console and its games drew criticism. Developed under the codename "Ounce" starting in 2019, the team focused on computational performance rather than new hardware gimmicks, and its launch title Mario Kart World has sold over 15 million copies.
