Fever pitch is here for Nintendo Switch fans, as not only do we have a price point, pre-order details, and more, but we know what comes in the Nintendo Switch 2 box.
Here’s what you get in the box on June 5th.

- Joy-Con 2 Straps
- Nintendo Switch 2 Dock
- Ultra High-Speed HDMI Cable
- Nintendo Switch 2 AC Adapter

You can pre-order very soon (or already, if you’re reading this late), and it’s not too expensive given the current hardware costs out there.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct ran for just under an hour, and included a bounty of information. You can see ALL the games confirmed so far, here.
The console will be the same thickness as before, but with a bigger screen. The handheld screen will be 1080p, up to 120fps. The screen is LCD, and supports HDR (in supported games, of which Mario Kart World seems to be one).
The much-rumoured mouse-like controller options for the new Joy-Cons was confirmed. We previously saw a glimpse of them looking like mouse, gliding around, but in the Direct Nintendo explicitly showed this off. The Joy-Cons themselves are magnetic and still have that satisfying “click” onto the screen part of the hardware. The Joy-Cons have “strong magnets” that attach, with buttons that release them. SL and SR buttons are bigger for “greater comfort”.
“Nintendo Switch 2 is the next step in at-home gaming that can be taken on the go based on eight years of play and discovery that began with Nintendo Switch,” said Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa. “With its new features that expand the possibilities of gaming experiences, I truly believe that Nintendo Switch 2 is a leap forward in our journey of putting smiles on the faces of everyone that Nintendo touches.”
