Direct event, Nintendo revealed a lot of the Switch 2 details we’ve been waiting for, including the console’s price ($449.99 in the US), its June 5th release date, and a slew of new games coming to it,

Nintendo's next console, the Switch 2, will come out on June 5 starting at $450. The console is largely the same in terms of form factor, but there have been a lot of improvements to the system as well as the controllers.

The original Nintendo Switch's now iconic detachable Joy-Con controllers could have attached to the console magnetically like the Switch 2 Joy-Con 2s, but the idea was shelved during development after late Nintendo President Satoru Iwata was presented with a prototype.
