Overview

  • The Switch 2’s 7.9-inch glass screen ships with a factory-applied film layer designed to hold shattered fragments in place and should not be peeled off.
  • Rapid preorder sell-outs have led retailers to deploy official ‘Out of Stock’ displays as they brace for high launch-day demand.
  • Under the hood, the Switch 2 features a custom Nvidia processor, 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage and magnetically attaching Joy-Con 2 controllers.
  • Nintendo will offer a $39.99 carrying case and screen protector bundle on launch day to complement the console’s protective film.
  • The health and safety manual also covers battery maintenance, usage in specified temperature ranges and cautions against placing stickers over Joy-Con shoulder buttons.
