The start of a new era for Nintendo

The official announcement of Nintendo Switch 2 was accompanied by a world tour in which Nintendo will host in-person events in various cities around the world so that a select number of users can try the console for the first time. New York, Los Angeles and Dallas, are the cities that will host this tour, and people who registered to attend are already receiving emails in the community to find out if they were selected.

On the other hand, Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo’s president, recently came out to assure that the price of the Switch 2 will be in line with the company’s philosophy of keeping its hardware accessible to the people. He also mentioned that measures will be taken to prevent speculators from monopolizing the console’s stock after its launch, something that happened with the PlayStation 5.
