Family Friendly Gaming News
REDMOND, Wash.--(June 10, in the year
of our Lord 2025)-- In the four days following its June
5 launch, the Nintendo Switch 2 game system sold more than 3.5
million units worldwide1, becoming the fastest-selling Nintendo
game system ever.
Nintendo Switch 2 features a larger, vivid screen capable of
full 1080p high-definition display (and 4K when connected to a
compatible TV or monitor), a faster processor that allows for
enhanced graphics and gameplay performance, and redesigned
magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers with mouse functionality. The
system also debuts the new GameChat2 feature, where players can
voice or video chat and share game screens with friends online,
bringing the feeling of playing together in the same room even
if their friends and family are miles away.
“Fans around the world are showing their enthusiasm for Nintendo
Switch 2 as an upgraded way to play at home and on the go,” said
Nintendo of America President and Chief Operating Officer Doug
Bowser. “We are thankful for their response and happy to see the
fun they are already having with Nintendo Switch 2 as they
explore new features and games that bring friends and family
together in new ways.”
The Nintendo Switch 2 system launched alongside Mario Kart
World. Featuring a series-first interconnected world where you
can drive virtually anywhere (including across cities, plains, a
desert and even the ocean), Mario Kart World includes dynamic
weather conditions, new game modes, and up to 24 drivers at once
— the most in series history.
And next month, a brand-new 3D platforming game starring Donkey
Kong will make its debut exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2.
Donkey Kong Bananza will let players unleash their inner Kong as
they smash and bash their way through a wild, mayhem-packed
action adventure, launching July 17.
Nintendo Switch 2 is now available for the suggested retail
price of $449.99 and is also available as a bundle with a
digital download of the full Mario Kart World game for the
suggested retail price of $499.99.
