The company says operating the consoles in a hot environment will raise the temperature

I tested 13 Switch 2 cases and these are the best

You might find it kind of sad to put a hard-earned gadget into a protective case. To me, it’s freeing. Using a case relieves me of the worry that it will accumulate tons of little scratches. So, I wasted no time testing cases on the new Nintendo Switch 2, and it didn’t take long for me to find one that I think is the best. I tried several types of cases on the Switch 2. I tested flimsy shells that snap or slide onto the Switch 2 to provide a simple, aesthetically pleasing barrier from scratches

The Nintendo Switch 2’s Biggest Problem Is Already Storage

The Nintendo Switch 2 is fantastic—already a contender for the biggest gaming hardware launch of 2025. I'm still playing it daily—monkeying around in Donkey Kong Bananza, enjoying tearing up its destructible game worlds, whether I'm playing on the big screen or tucked up in bed with handheld mode. Unfortunately, just two months on from release, my console’s drive is already full. Since my copy of Bananza is digital, I've had to start juggling game installs to experience the great ape’s latest a

Why Nintendo didn’t raise the price of the Switch 2 (yet)

Just about every piece of hardware that Nintendo sells is getting a little more expensive in the US — with the exception of the Switch 2. That includes all models of the original Switch, a bunch of accessories, and even a motion-activated alarm clock. The changes were made ahead of sweeping Trump administration tariffs that are scheduled to go into effect in August, and they show Nintendo is leaning on a strategy that it has employed across its business: largely avoiding risk. Raising the price

The original Nintendo Switch is about to get more expensive in the US

Nintendo has announced that the price of the original Nintendo Switch will change in the United States, citing “market conditions” as the reason for its decision. The new pricing will apply from August 3, and will affect the regular Switch, the Switch Lite and the Switch OLED , as well as select accessories for the console. Amiibo and the Alarmo alarm clock will also see price increases. The Switch 2 is not affected, nor are the prices of any games or Nintendo Switch Online memberships for Swit

Nintendo revenue doubles as Switch 2 sales top 5.8 million units

What just happened? Nintendo has a hit with its new Switch 2 console, and now it has the numbers to prove it. For the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2026, the company more than doubled its net sales, jumping from 246.6 billion yen to 572.3 billion yen (roughly $3.9 billion). That figure easily beat analyst expectations, with LSEG forecasting just 474.84 billion yen. Operating profit checked in at 56.9 billion yen versus the 53.46 billion yen that Wall Street was anticipating. Un

You Should Get All Those Switch 2 Accessories Now Before They Get Even More Expensive

The situation surrounding Trump tariffs hasn’t eased its pressure on Nintendo. Even as the Switch 2 has become one of the fastest-selling consoles ever, the Mario maker said that select Switch 2 accessories may see price “adjustments” starting Aug 3. Not only that, but the original Switch and Switch OLED could cost more going forward. I guess we shouldn’t say we told you so, but even we didn’t expect to witness original Switch models selling for $40 or $50 more than before. In a news post, Nint

Citing “market conditions,” Nintendo hikes prices of original Switch consoles

Today, Nintendo is back for more, increasing prices on the original Switch hardware, as well as some Amiibo, the Alarmo clock, and some Switch and Switch 2 accessories. The price increases wi

Nintendo won’t say it’s raising Switch prices, but it’s raising Switch prices

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Prices for the original Nintendo Switch family of products will change in the US on August 3, 2025. The reason is attributed to market conditions in the US.

These Are the Switch 2 Launch Games You Should Actually Consider

The Nintendo Switch 2 hasn't been out long but it's still somewhat disappointing that not many new games are available yet to use the new hardware.
