Mario Kart World was tested on Nintendo Switch 2. Pokémon Legends: Z-A will arrive on October 16, 2025, but pre-orders begin on June 5. The Pokémon Company also announced new Mega Evolution merchandise (available now on the Pokémon Center) and confirmed the Pokémon Presents presentation coming July 22.
Right out of the box, it's clear that the Switch 2 is going to be a premium experience. It feels sturdy and solid in the hand, the display is big and beautiful, and the new magnetic mechanism for attaching the Joy-Con controllers is very satisfying.
Magnetic Joy-Cons and better graphics make the Nintendo Switch 2 feel like an evolution, but its familiar design and a lack of early exclusive games mean you're OK to wait.
