Nintendo Switch 2 will be available for sale on June 5–6, 2025. Price? The base version is 450 dollars, and in Poland for about 2199 zł, while the edition with Mario Kart World included costs 2399 zł, depending on the region. The console still remains a hybrid – you can connect it to the TV, but you can also easily take it on the go. This time, however, we are getting a more powerful device that will support games in 4K on TV, up to 120 fps in 1080p, and with HDR onboard.
