The Switch 2 differs from its predecessor in almost every aspect. Check out the table below for a comparison of key features that most gamers care about, from screen size to internal storage. Of course, if you’re after the full specs breakdown, head over to the Nintendo website.
| Feature | Nintendo Switch | Nintendo Switch OLED | Nintendo Switch 2 |
| Screen size | 6.2” | 7” | 7.9” |
| Internal storage | 32GB | 64GB | 256GB |
| Screen resolution | 720p | 720p OLED | 1080p LCD |
| Battery | 4,310mAh | 4,310mAh | 5,220mAh |
| Refresh rate | 60Hz | 60Hz | 120Hz |
| Thickness | 13.9mm | 13.9mm | 13.9mm |
Even though the Switch 2 is bigger and better in most ways, it’s not bulkier – it’s still the same 13.9mm thick as the OG model. The Joy-Con controllers have gotten a glow-up too, with bigger buttons for easier pressing, and they now attach magnetically. Heck, they can even be used like a mouse, opening up new possibilities to navigate games like Mario Kart or The Legend of Zelda.
On that note, there’s a slew of new Nintendo games lined up, such as Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bonanza, among others. Existing games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land will also be getting the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrades – basically the same game, but zhnged up with all the fancy features and settings of the Switch 2.
Gone are the days when you’d have to prop your Switch up against random household items just to get a decent view. The new adjustable stable stand lets you find the best viewing angle up to 150 degrees. Alternatively, just dock the Switch to your TV’s HDMI port, and enjoy gaming in glorious 4K resolution.
Other new features include a built-in microphone to interact with your gaming buddy and a 3D spatial audio system when tethered to headphones. The console now has 2 USB-C ports too, so you can charge it while it’s docked to the TV.
The Nintendo Switch 2 alone is priced at $796.50, with the new Mario Kart World game costing USD$79.99 (~S$102.93), adding up to $899.43 total. Yikes. However, you can slash that price down all the way to $769, with Amazon’s Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle, available for pre-order. In our eyes, you’re getting way more for a lot less with this deal, saving more than $130 in the process.
You can also pre-order it from FairPrice, with their Nintendo Switch 2 Console Mario Kart World Bundle priced at $809 (U.P. $849) up for grabs until 15th June 2025.
Regardless of which retailer you buy from, these are the following items that you’ll get in the bundle:
While the official launch date globally is on 5th June 2025, we Singaporeans have to wait a tad bit longer as it’ll only arrive on 26th June 2025. Good things come to those who are patient, though. Once the console lands, you’ll be able to experience all the next-gen gaming goodness it has to offer.
Now that you’re all caught up on the latest Switch 2 news, you’ll know what to expect when it drops this month. In the meantime, if you’re itching for a quick gaming fix, tide yourself over with these free online games.
