Nintendo Switch 2 comes with the following:

  • Nintendo Switch 2 console
  • Joy-Con 2 controllers (L+R)
  • Joy-Con 2 Grip
  • Joy-Con 2 Straps
  • Nintendo Switch 2 Dock
  • Ultra High-Speed HDMI Cable
  • Nintendo Switch 2 AC Adapter

A bundle pack featuring Mario Kart World will also be available.

Other confirmed titles being released for the console include Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition, Elden Ring, Street Fighter 6 and Project 007 in which players will step into the shoes of James Bond to earn their 00 status.

“Nintendo Switch 2 is the next step in at-home gaming that can be taken on the go based on eight years of play and discovery that began with Nintendo Switch,” said Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa. 

“With its new features that expand the possibilities of gaming experiences, I truly believe that Nintendo Switch 2 is a leap forward in our journey of putting smiles on the faces of everyone that Nintendo touches.”
