Thanks to the full Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, we know that the console will launch on June 5, 2025. It's accompanied by Mario Kart World at launch, as well as a new Pro Controller with back-paddle buttons. The base console is priced at $449, and pre-orders have now gone live in some regions. In terms of the console itself, it supports 120fps, and a 4K output when docked.

Now that we're well into 2025, there's plenty of big games to look forward to in the coming months. These include a few games that were delayed out of last year, as well as some very highly anticipated titles indeed.
