In honour of the event, Nintendo has released a spectacular promotional video that reminds us of the main features of the Switch 2.
The gadget will offer:

- HDR support, VRR and frame rates up to 120 FPS;

Nintendo and third-party studios have also put together an extensive launch line-up of games, including Civilisation VII, Cyberpunk 2077 and a host of other hits.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is priced at €470 in Europe and $450 in the US, but major US retailers have recently reported cancelled pre-orders, which could indicate supply issues.
