Nintendo Switch 2 launches globally with shortages expected
Business World Philippines
|June 06, 2025
Nintendo’s Switch 2 launched on Thursday and is widely expected to be in short supply globally amid pent-up demand for the more powerful next-generation gaming device.
-
“The level of demand seems to be sky-high,” said Serkan Toto, founder of the Kantan Games consultancy.
The Switch launched in 2017 and followed the underperforming Wii U. The home-portable device became a juggernaut with games including two The Legend of Zelda titles and COVID-19 pandemic breakout hit Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
The Switch 2 bears many similarities with its predecessor but offers a larger screen and improved graphics and debuts with titles including Mario Kart World.
