Nintendo’s much-anticipated gaming console, the Switch 2, has set off a worldwide buying spree ahead of its scheduled release on June 5, 2025. Pre-orders began recently, quickly exhausting supplies at major online and physical stores around the globe. Enthusiastic fans encountered website crashes and had to join lottery systems in Japan, highlighting the remarkable demand.
The Switch 2 will feature an upgraded 7.9-inch Full HD touchscreen, 4K resolution when docked, enhanced graphics performance supporting HDR and 120fps gameplay, and improved Joy-Con 2 controllers. Notable launch titles include the expansive racing game “Mario Kart World” and the innovative motion-controlled sports game “Drag x Drive.”
Nintendo has warned customers of potential supply shortages due to unprecedented demand and recommends regularly checking their official announcements for updates.
