Switch 2, the long-awaited new console from Nintendo, launches June 5 with 'Mario Kart World' and 'Cyberpunk 2077'

It’s a big day for Nintendo fans. The gaming giant’s new console, the $450 Switch 2, arrives on store shelves globally after being announced in April — marking Nintendo’s first major console launch since the original Switch arrived roughly eight years ago.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This seems to have been Nintendo’s watchword for the Switch 2 — and not just in terms of the design of this iterative sequel to the Switch, a runaway success that’s likely to become Nintendo’s biggest seller ever.
