The new device features a larger, improved screen and introduces a mouse function, marking a significant upgrade from the original Switch.


In Japan, the Switch 2 will be available for 49,980 yen (USD 334) for the Japanese-language version and 69,980 yen for the multi-language version.


The original Switch, launched in March 2017 at USD 299.99, has sold over 150 million units, bolstered by hardware updates and popular titles like Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda.


Nintendo has announced "Mario Kart World" as one of the upcoming titles for the new console.


Analysts expect strong demand for the Switch 2, with Jefferies analyst Atul Goyal noting that the market's response will become clear after launch.


Goldman Sachs analyst Minami Munakata estimates Nintendo is targeting shipments of over 10 million units in the first year, based on the company’s balance sheet data.


The launch comes amid global trade tensions, with analysts highlighting industry shifts such as subscription models and backwards compatibility as factors easing the transition to new hardware.


Nintendo's shares, which reached a peak in February, dropped 3% on Thursday after the announcement. However, some analysts, including Amir Anvarzadeh of Asymmetric Advisors, question whether the new console justifies the current stock valuation.
