After years of rumors, Nintendo has finally detailed the specs for the Switch 2. However, it also announced that the console would launch on June 5th worldwide.
Offering a 7.8 LCD screen with a 1080p resolution (double the pixels of the Switch 1), it includes support for HDR and up to 120 frames per second in supported titles. The new Joy-Con 2 attaches magnetically to the console and offers larger SL and SR buttons and control sticks.
And, as teased extensively leading up to launch, the Joy-Con 2 can be used as a mouse. The speaker has seen some improvements and offers clearer audio while a built-in mic is included for voice chat. It also supports microSD Express cards – regular microSD is not compatible.
It also sports two USB-C ports, 256 GB of internal storage and a new dock with 4K support for compatible games. HDR is also available in TV mode, and the dock has a fan for improved cooling. A new Pro Controller is also coming, which includes an audio jack and GL/GR buttons.
