- Retailers including BestBuy, Walmart, Target, Staples, and Costco stocked limited supplies, prompting fans to queue early and causing initial in-store inventories to likely sell out quickly.
- The Nintendo Switch 2 comes priced at $449.99 for the console and $499.99 for a Mario Kart World bundle, offering enhanced graphics, a larger screen, and compatibility with most original Switch games.
- The release marks a strategic shift for Nintendo with strong fan excitement and high expectations, though some questions remain about matching the original Switch's success due to high game prices.
