Introduce a new era of Nintendo gaming with the Nintendo Switch 2 (Solus). Built to elevate both handheld adventures and living-room battles, Solus blends the best of portable freedom with stunning TV-ready visuals. Dive into exclusive experiences like Mario Kart World, while still enjoying your Nintendo Switch library in a refreshed, streamlined way.
Vibrant visuals and silky-smooth performance
Experience a larger 1080p handheld screen that brings your favorites to life on the go, plus the option to dock and play on a TV in up to 4K. HDR delivers richer, more cinematic color, while VRR and frame rates up to 120 fps in handheld mode translate to faster, more responsive racing, combat, and platforming. Note: 4K output on the TV is capped at 60 fps, and 4K compatibility depends on your display.
A smarter, more versatile control system
Snap the magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers into place for instant, secure pairing and a fresh ergonomic feel. Each Joy-Con 2 doubles as a precise mouse in compatible games, opening new ways to navigate menus, aim, and interact with game worlds without needing additional accessories.
Shared moments, seamless communication
Say hello to GameChat — a built-in social feature designed to keep conversations active without pausing your game. Start a voice chat with friends using the C Button, and share your live game screen so everyone can see what you’re doing in real time. For a more personal connection, connect a Nintendo Switch 2 camera or a compatible USB-C camera (sold separately) for video chats that feel close, even when you’re apart.
Exclusive thrills, plus familiar favorites
Solus brings exclusive experiences like Mario Kart World to the forefront, delivering content built to showcase the console’s capabilities. You’ll also have access to compatible games from your existing Nintendo Switch library, providing a familiar catalog with a modern performance boost. Be aware that some Switch titles may not be fully compatible with Switch 2.

Practical guidance to maximize your experience
To achieve true 4K playback, ensure your television supports 4K and is compatible with the Switch 2’s 4K output. For the best handheld experience, enable VRR where available and keep the magnetic connectors clean for a secure Joy-Con 2 fit. Online features—including GameChat—require an active Nintendo Account and Nintendo Switch Online membership. A camera accessory (Nintendo Switch 2 camera or compatible USB-C camera) is needed for video features, and some services or accessories may be sold separately. Availability varies by country.
