Introduction
When the Nintendo Switch 2 was released, it received a lot of negative feedback, mainly due to its price. But even with some unlikely future, does that stop Nintendo from making a profit, or has it ruined Nintendo’s long-lasting reputation? Nintendo Switch 2 was released on June 5 2025. Like its big brother, Nintendo Switch. It can also be used as a handheld device or as a tablet. It comes with a dock that connects with an external display. Comes with Joy-Con 2 controllers, which are magnetically attached or detached from the console. Compared to the old Nintendo, the new Nintendo Switch has a larger liquid-crystal display,more internal storage,and updated graphics,controllers,and social features.

Price
Yes, there was a lot of hate against their price, but even with that, it didn’t stop Nintendo from selling more than 3.5 million units worldwide within four days of release. This even makes Nintendo Switch 2 the fastest selling Nintendo console. As of September 30, 2025, a total of 10.36 million Nintendo Switch 2 units had been sold, with Mario Kart being the best-selling game, having sold 9.57 million copies.
The MSRP on the Nintendo Switch 2 is $629.99(CAD) and Nintendo also sold it as a bundle for $699.99.(CAD)
Joy-Con 2
The new Joy Con 2 is a significantly improved version of the old ones. The biggest change is that users can easily attach them just by snapping the controllers back in place. To detach the controller, there is a small button on the controllers that expands the cylinder inside to push off the controller. The previous generation used a rail system. Joy-Con 2 has an implanted 500mAh battery which lasts around 20 hours. Joy-Con 2 can also be used as a mouse, a new way to play games. A new C button is added, the button activates the new GameChat feature.
Nintendo Camera
Nintendo also released a Camera which is fully developed by Nintendo. It was made for the Nintendo Switch 2. Mostly used for GameChat, CameraPlay and in-game camera features.
Game Cards
You can buy Nintendo’s games from the eShop digital or physical game cards. You can also buy empty key cards and download the game via the internet. But Switch 2 Game Cards are designed differently from the previous Switch. They are coated the game cards in a non-toxic bitterant to prevent children from eating them. The new game cards can be found in red; the original Switch game cards were grey. Like older game cards counted the real games but the newer game cards only contain a digital license and no game data. When the Game Key is inserted, the real games files will be downloaded to the console, but that does not finish because to launch that game, you need that key card again. The reason behind this action is that games are growing larger. The old game cards can no longer store those games. Using a game key allows games to be sold in retail.
Conclusion
There were a lot of changes from Nintendo Switch to Nintendo Switch 2. All the new technology and features added to Switch 2 explained the price. Nintendo not only received a lot of negativity but also a lot of love. The console is not the only one who received all the love games like Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom received a lot of love.
