After months – no, years – of rumours and industry chatter, the Nintendo Switch 2 has finally launched. The console officially dropped at midnight; mine landed earlier on Wednesday afternoon. Smyths Toys opened all of its shops at midnight,

The Nintendo Switch 2 is launching at a price of $449. There is a limited-time bundle that includes Mario Kart World that costs $499 (which, considering the game itself will retail for $79.99, is a good deal if you plan to buy Mario Kart anyway.)

As promised, Nintendo has updated a bunch of Switch games to support the Switch 2. Unlike Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, these don't cost a dime. Just install them on your new console when it arrives, and enjoy next-gen enhancements.
